Description:
As research has shown us, accessing a client's Whole Self for healing (mind-body and Spirit) can greatly enhance the therapeutic process. Instead of simply helping a traumatized client move out of survival, what if you could also help them identify, awaken and activate their highest potential? What if you could break old destructive survival patterns and unlock you clients wiser Self which lies beyond their repetitive, thinking mind? Join Dr. Shannon South for a fresh look at techniques to heal bringing together multiple areas of counseling to awaken human potential and fast-forward healing.
Objectives:
- Summarize and list unique qualities of the unconscious, conscious, and superconscious mind.
- Explain why repetition compulsion becomes a survival pattern for many traumatized clients and how expansion patterns may be engaged in the therapeutic process to speed healing.
- Explain why symbols [positive associations] are powerful components of psychotherapy, how they may be employed to replace traumatic associations, to promote healing.
- Describe how to help clients identify their guiding symbols and employ them in active healing.
- Identify the benefits of integrating levels of consciousness in healing.
- Explain why the subconscious mind must be engaged for healing to last.
- Discover an "Introduction to the Inner Counselor Process" that integrates multiple levels of healing for clients.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Mindfulness Based Stress Reductions (MBSR) is a well-defined and systematic patient centered educational approach which uses relatively intensive training in mindfulness meditation as the core of the program to teach people how to take better care of themselves and live healthier, more adaptive lives. We will discuss how individuals in recovery from substance use disorders can use this technique as a positive coping strategy. The prototype program was developed at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. This model has been successfully utilized with modifications in a number of other medical centers and non-medical centers such as schools, prisons, athletic training programs, professional programs and the workplace. In this introduction course, we will review the highlights of the MBSR program, gain better understanding of Mindfulness meditation and practice several forms of mindfulness. We will also review the benefits if this approach and ways to work with clients using Mindfulness therapy.
Objectives:
- Identify the benefits of mindfulness.
- Practice mindfulness in their own lives
- Explain the basic tenets of mindfulness
- Explain the program contents for the MBSR programs
- Begin to use mindfulness with clients!.
We look forward to seeing you there!
