Mindfulness in the Clinical Setting –
For therapists, social workers, physicians, nurses, and healers of all kinds:
Have you been inspired to use mindfulness techniques with your clients or patients in the clinical setting? Great! Throughout 10 years as a teacher, group facilitator, and therapist, I have found that mindfulness techniques go a long way in grounding and developing the therapeutic relationship. Further, using mindfulness, trust and rapport tend to develop more quickly, and the usual 20minute “let’s get comfortable” part of each session is easily reduced to 5 minutes.
Mindfulness helps clients to tell their story in a clearer more focused manner. By developing mindful awareness, they are less likely to become distracted and tangential. For those clients who get lost in thoughts and stories, mindfulness helps them to get in touch with their bodies, their environment and their inner experience in the present moment. Further, mindfulness fosters self-awareness and insight that is a boon to any counseling style. Mindfulness as a clinical intervention is proven for clients with mood disorders, personality disorders, addictions, impulse control disorders, adjustment disorders and the full spectrum of DSM-IV disorders.
