Description

• Match specific mindfulness practices to help heal diverse symptoms of PTSD and complex trauma
• A rare opportunity for you to learn how to apply mindfulness skills to trauma and PTSD!
• Discover a toolkit of mindfulness skills so that you can personalize your approach to clients’ unique trauma symptoms and therapy preferences

The multitude of difficulties stemming from trauma – emotional, cognitive, physical, spiritual, and relational-can overwhelm both trauma survivors and you as their clinician. You face a unique constellation of challenges with each client. Luckily, mindfulness practices can provide bountiful avenues towards trauma recovery and posttraumatic growth. Mindfulness skills offer an ideal synthesis of focusing on the “here and now” and healing layers of trauma-related distress. Using specific mindfulness techniques, you can target each client’s unique symptom profile to reduce experiences such as:

• Anxiety
• Avoidance
• Depression
• Hypervigilance
• Dissociation
• Self-criticism, self-blame, and self-hatred
• Intrusions
• Relationship disturbances

Beyond decreasing symptoms of trauma and PTSD, mindfulness skills can provide a lasting foundation for overall health, resilience, and well-being.

Join Dr. Turow, author of Mindfulness Skills for Trauma and PTSD: Practices for Recovery and Resilience (Norton Professional Books, 2017), as she distills her clinical and research expertise to pinpoint specific mindfulness techniques for common responses to trauma. By implementing these skills in your practice, you can confidently guide traumatized clients to tolerate and transform distress, promote bodily relaxation, and shift self-criticism to self-compassion.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
