Mindfulness and Psychotherapy | Teleseminar

Are financial concerns becoming a big part of your clinical hour?

"How a centuries-old, deceptively simple meditation practice can be a refuge in the storm − providing life-affirming peace of mind during the worst financial crisis in over 50 years"

Dear Colleague,

Are your clients spending more and more time discussing financial concerns? With layoffs, home foreclosures, and recent bankruptcy of the nation's largest auto industry, are they:

afraid of making a mistake
second - guessing their decisions
not sure how they will take care of their families, finance their kids' education and secure their retirement

It will take months for the layoffs to stop, and who-knows-how-long to stabilize the banks and restore personal retirements.

But meanwhile, new fears and insecurities confront us everyday...and they demand a new response from practitioners.

One of the most useful tools that could make a difference right now is mindfulness meditation. This powerful practice can be life-affirming in the face of the fear and loss that comes with economic uncertainty.

In this timely 3-part teleseminar series, you'll learn how to use mindfulness practices to respond to your clients' anxiety and depression brought about by this alarming meltdown. Our instructor, Ronald Siegel, PsyD, will share a roadmap for using these techniques to work creatively with our shared predicament, and coach you step-by-step on how to use mindfulness practice to respond to your clients' economic-related angst.

And there's no need to worry about schedule conflicts − after each of the teleseminar sessions, you will get a link to download the recording for your personal library. Listen to it anytime, anywhere, and as often as you'd like!
