Event Details
Sliding Scale: $75 – 200. Code LG3D18.
6 CE credits available for $60 for psychologists and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, nurses, chiropractors, and acupuncturists.
Whether coping with small annoyances or full-blown disasters, this day retreat leads you through a step-by-step process to strengthen the response flexibility, innate in your brain and your being, that you need to find calm, clarity and courage in the midst of any adversity.
You will learn to integrate practices from Western psychology and the Buddhist wisdom tradition to deepen mindful empathy and self-compassion, connect in relationships that are healthy and nourishing, reverse the impacts of any stress or trauma, and use conscious reflection to discern options and make the wise choices that lead to thriving and flourishing.
Young Adults (18-26) and Seniors (65+ with limited income) are invited to attend this day for $45.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
Based on the content of this program, you will be able to:
- Describe the differences between stressors (external events) and stress (internal reactions to external events) and the differences between stress and trauma (an overwhelm of defenses against stress or external events);
- Describe the impact of the activation-deactivation of the autonomic nervous system (survival responses) on brain functioning and resilience;
- Teach clients to use five body-based tools to regulate automatic survival responses and return the body-brain to its natural physiological equilibrium;
- Identify three practices of cultivating mindful self-compassion to shift the functioning of the brain from contraction, reactivity, and negativity to openness and the larger perspective;
- Implement memory de-consolidation/re-consolidation to help clients rewire dysfunctional patterns of response.
