Managing Mood with Mindfulness:
Integrating Mindfulness with Psychotherapy
Mark Levine, M.D.
Managing Mood with Mindfulness: Integrating Mindfulness with Psychotherapy is a workshop for clinicians interested in learning how to integrate mindfulness practices into cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. The model works particularly well for brief therapies and is part of a protocol under review by researchers at Harvard University. The workshop will teach neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness skills helpful for reducing the symptoms and root causes of stress, depression, and anxiety.
Why Learn Mindfulness?
Some negative emotions are useful. Fear protects us from danger. Anger is a useful response to a threat and sadness helps us heal from loss. But many negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, panic, frustration, or despair are destructive.
These negative emotions add to our stress and can make us ill. They sabotage our attempts to solve problems and sometimes even prevent us from taking positive action. These negative emotions never help and only hurt.
Learning Objectives:
The workshop covers the following content:
- What causes stress, depression, and anxiety.
- We explore our innate tendency to struggle with our own thoughts.
- We see how we suffer when we struggle with thoughts.
- We explore how mindfulness might free us from this struggle.
- We discuss ways in which the attitude of attention might influence negative thoughts and emotions.
