Description

Acclaimed psychiatrist and mindfulness writer, Mark Epstein, MD, reflects on a deeply personal inquiry weaving together his Western psychology training with mindfulness. Using powerful client stories, he reveals how a therapist can cultivate wonder and trust in therapy, no matter how fraught our clients may seem. Participants who attend this presentation will be able to determine how the essentials of Buddhist psychology can practically apply to their clinical work and the relationship between mindfulness and mentalization – our ability to understand ourselves and how that underlies our behaviour. Finally, participants will be able to distinguish between mindfulness and insight practices and how the concept of “emptiness” can help clinicians better understand themselves and how it applies in their work with clients.
