This first time event is a one-day workshop exploring the use of meditation and mindfulness in deepening the therapeutic contact between therapist and self, therapist and client and client and self.

The objective of the workshop is to explore how the principles and practices of meditation can enhance psychotherapy. Included are an overview of the varieties of meditative skills that have been studied in clinical practice; an examination of how meditation is enriching our understanding of psychotherapy in general; and practical therapeutic applications.

The workshop will address critical theoretical issues and reveal how meditation can improve clinical work with difficult-to-treat clinical conditions, improve physical health and foster personal self-care and well-being. There will also be an opportunity to explore the use of mindfulness in working with loneliness, alienation, illness and loss; and to apply mindfulness to the treatment of depression, anxiety, chronic pain and childhood distress.
