Learn ways to be more present in life and increase resilience to stress and pain.
Together, we will explore what mindfulness is and various practices for building present-moment awareness. Practices are designed to help us slow down and notice our experiences with less judgment. These include brief, informal practices as well as longer guided meditations.
Topics include:
-Defining mindfulness and self-compassion
-Ways to practice mindfulness and self-compassion in daily life
-Mapping the nervous system to better recognize your stress response
-Somatic (body-based) tools for self-soothing
-Identifying our emotions, needs, and values
This 8-week therapy group is offered in-person and virtually. Participants should plan to commit 10-20 minutes each day for home practice. This group is friendly for those new to mindfulness and those who already have some experience.
