A Mindful Way To Emotional Well-Being

 

An 8 Week Group led by

John Weaver, Psy.D.

Director of The Healthy Thinking Initiative

 

 

The practice of Mindfulness involves paying attention in a particular way:

 

         On purpose

 

                           In the present moment

 

                                             And without judgment

 

This group will teach skills for growing in emotional wellbeing by using mindfulness practices. The eight week group will introduce participants to these powerful techniques that are built on evidence-based, proven strategies.

 

Participants will be asked to engage in a weekly (for 8 weeks) two hour group and to practice daily mindfulness meditations that will be taught during the group.

 

Research has shown that 40% of those who are willing to learn and apply the practice of mindfulness to manage the symptoms of depression have been able to successfully eliminate their anti-depressant medications without relapsing for more than five years. There is a substantial amount of other research that demonstrates that mindfulness is beneficial for better outcomes in many types of psychological distress.
