Advanced Mindfulness: The Art and Science of Self-Compassion – Tim Desmond

• Techniques to help clients break through self-criticism, insecurity and depression
• The fascinating convergence between modern science and mindfulness practice
• Practices to re-energize your work and increase your effectiveness
• Explanation of self-compassion as vital element of mindfulness practice that is often overlooked in the mental health field

Self-compassion might be the single most important skill for effectively dealing with difficult emotions. In fact, a lack of self-compassion is one of the strongest predictors for anxiety, depression and other mental health problems. This seminar will equip you with tools to build the capacity for self-compassion in your clients. We will explore the convergence between modern science and mindfulness practices that can be used to build self-compassion in the present, and can be applied to heal past trauma. You will be taught a thorough, yet accessible, orientation to cognitive science and neuroscience as they relate to mindfulness.
This seminar recording consists of highly engaging and experiential learning that will give you a firsthand experience of how these practices can build and sustain well-being. You will have an opportunity to practice guiding others and being guided through mindfulness and self-compassion exercises with the support of skilled supervision. Take home the Toolbox for Teaching Mindfulness and the Toolbox for Teaching Self-Compassion, allowing you to immediately incorporate what you have learned into your work with clients.

1. Enhance client engagement with clear psychoeducational descriptions of the neurological processes involved in mental health issues and understandable explanations of how mindfulness can impact these processes.
2. Establish how clinical tools that increase self-awareness and self-compassion can be used in therapy to help clients better manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
3. Diversify available clinical techniques with mindfulness and self-compassion exercises you can use with a variety of populations and treatment modalities.
4. Formulate treatment plans for depression that integrate mindfulness interventions that counter automatic patterns of thoughts.
5. Analyze the role of attunement between therapist and client in contributing to positive clinical outcomes and communicate how mindfulness training can improve attunement in the therapeutic relationship.
6. Teach clients to connect with difficult emotions without self-judgment using self-compassion exercises in the treatment of trauma.
