Description

  • The neuroscience and physiology behind evidence-based therapies
  • Integrating mind and body in treatment for psychological trauma, anxiety and depression
  • Experience the power of non-anxious presence
  • Incorporating mindfulness and self-compassion as clinical skills
  • Teach clients emotion regulation and present moment focus

The evidenced-based healing practices of mindfulness, radical self-acceptance and yoga bring neuroscience, physiology, self-care and cognitive therapy together in an integrated approach to treating psychological trauma, anxiety and depression. Learn the relationship of mind, body and spirit and how to translate this knowledge into clinical skills. Science clearly shows that this approach heals anxiety and depression by teaching healthy ways to relate to thoughts, take care of emotions, live in the present moment and experience physical comfort. Sensible and compassionate, putting these practices to work empowers clients, enhances the professional relationship and heals client and clinician alike.

Join Mary NurrieStearns, private practice therapist, retreat leader, yoga expert and author for a highly experiential two day immersion into these healing practices. Review the science behind these practices, experience them for yourself, learn from clinical examples, then role play how to bring these powerful healing modalities into your professional work to improve client outcomes.

Mary NurrieStearns teaches what she lives. A meditator and yoga practitioner for over 20 years, she credits these practices for profound personal healing. She embodies the qualities of wholeness that spring from many years of practice. She has trained thousands of clinicians in the practices of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, compassion and radical self-acceptance.
