Description

An educational program with Dr. Dan Siegel and Drs. Julie and John Gottman

Don’t pass up this fascinating chance to engage in a discussion on mindfulness and couples counseling. This ground-breaking program gives you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness three of the most brilliant minds in their respective disciplines as they combine disparate techniques to empower and improve your work with people and couples. Learn how to use mindfulness to help couples transition from rigid and chaotic states to ones of empathy, compassion, and flexibility.

One of the most fascinating scientific discoveries of the past 20 years was discovered by Dr. Dan Siegel: how we direct our attention affects how our brains are organized. He will expertly lay out a fun and understandable framework for comprehending the workings of the mind and how it relates to interpersonal interactions.

The Gottmans will expertly illustrate how to include mindfulness into your couples work utilizing evidence-based therapies from Gottman Method Couples Therapy through live video filmed sessions with couples, clinical vignettes, and experiential audience engagement in response.

The essential Gottman Method Interventions are integrated into this workshop’s synthesis of interpersonal neurobiology. You will discover how to spot disordered and inflexible mental states and guide individuals and couples toward states of adaptability, empathy, openness, and attunement. They will thus feel increased self-compassion, revitalized closeness, and the healing of relational traumas.

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.
