SUMMARY:Mindfulness Skills to Manage Difficult Emotions for Peers in Crisis Settings
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview:  \nWe all experience painful emotional states at times. Anger\, anxiety\, and fear are adaptive reactions to challenges because they direct our attention to threats to help us survive in difficult circumstances. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to our moment-to-moment experience with curiosity and acceptance rather than judgment and resistance. By learning to pay attention in this way\, we can begin to diffuse the negative effects of complex emotions and understand their true meaning. \nMindfulness tools help us deal with these difficult mind states by focusing our attention on what is important right now. They also guide us to identify our triggers\, clarify our feelings\, and respond with wisdom. Mindfulness training has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to reduce distress\, improve the quality of our emotional fitness\, and even alter the structure and function of our brains. \nLearn Mindfulness Skills to: \n\nIdentify emotional triggers.\nReduce emotional reactivity.\nRecover from intense emotions more quickly.\nExamine the validity of our thoughts.\n\nLearn practices that increase resilience such as: \n\nYoga\, meditation\, and the body scan.\nRegular routines to release stress throughout the day.\n\nAccording to Peer Reviewed Research\, Regular Mindfulness Practice: \n\nReduces stress\, anxiety\, and depression.\nImproves sleep\, focus\, and attention.\nReduces symptoms of chronic illness and pain.\nEnhances ability to experience joy and contentment.\nIncreases confidence and self-acceptance.\n\nWhat’s Included: \n\nMindfulness for Difficult Emotions Participant Handbook PDF.\nLinks to audio and video practices.\n\nTrainer: \nCarol Hendershot\, RYT 500\nCertified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Instructor\nCo-Founder\, Grand Rapids Center for Mindfulness \nCarol has been teaching the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) since 2008 and has led hundreds of students through the program.
