1 SDS Seminars Ltd BPS Approved Certificate in Third Wave CBT Module 1 Mindfulness with Dr Fiona Kennedy Course Materials
2 BPS Approved Certificate in Third Wave CBT Module 1 MINDFULNESS 2 Day Course Dr Fiona Kennedy Aims For 2 Days Defining Mindfulness Day onefocuses on thinking a littleabout mindfulness, and experiencing a lot of it. It s been said that using mindfulness therapeutically will often fail if therapists do not practice it themselves. Our own personal journey with mindfulness is of great importance, so Experiencing Mindfulness The days will provide many opportunities to practice open awareness, of things in the present moment, both outside ourselves and inside our minds and bodies. Being Mindful Towards Our Clients Holding the client in our awareness without judging, interpreting or rushing to problem solve, in other words, mindfully, allows a deep and rich comprehension of their situation and struggle. From this perspective we can genuinely approach how it feels to be the client, and begin our communication from their own standpoint, rather then our own. Mindfulness As A Therapeutic Tool Several evidence based therapeutic and coaching approaches now incorporate mindfulness as a therapeutic tool. How can we bring mindfulness into our own therapeutic or coaching practice. How to sell mindfulness by giving our clients a reason to use it. Formulating Problems As A Lack Of Mindfulness Many human struggles involve ruminating about the past, worry and panic about the future, and self-judgment. These are all ways of not being mindful. Formulating the problem not as a thing to be overcome but an internal state to be accepted. This opens the way for therapies that emphasise living a meaningful life, rather than just feeling better. Teaching Clients To Use Mindfulness Experience has shown that there are more and less effective ways to take clients on the mindfulness journey. As a skill it needs to be practiced. To be practiced it needs motivation, patience and persistence. Different mindfulness exercises are easy and difficult or perhaps beginner and advanced skills. This part of thetraining will allow participants to try out ways and means of encouraging clients on this journey. Running A Mindfulness Group The second day will include instructions, discussion and role play of running a mindfulness group. This will use the basic structure from a DBT group approach and this dovetail into the 2 day DBT third wave presentation. 1
3 What Is Mindfulness? History, Definitions Current Uses Theory Effectiveness History The Buddha: Western Idea: 2
4 Definitions Intentionally living with awareness in the present moment Wake up from automatic pilot to participate and be present Without judging or rejecting the moment Notice consequences and helpfulness/harmfulness-but let go of suppressing, evaluating, avoiding or blocking Without attachment to the moment Attend to the experience of each new moment, don t ignore the present by clinging to past or grasping for future Definitions At the still point of the turning world. Neither fleshnorfleshless; Neither fromnortowards; At the still point there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither fromnortowards, Neither ascentnordecline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance and only the dance. T. S. ELIOT, Burnt Norton (1935) 3
5 Mindfulness practice The intentional practice of mindfulness and mindfulness skills How? Anywhere, anytime, while doing anything. Pay attention to the moment non judgmentally Meditation Focus attention (open or focus mind) Non judgmentally (without attachment/avoidance) Let go of analysis let the word do the work Carry practice into daily life Outcome Studies The literature on effects of mindfulness training contains manymethodologicalweaknesses, Mindfulness interventions may improve pain, stress, anxiety, depressive relapse, and disordered eating (e.g., Kabat-Zinn, 1982; Kabat-Zinn et al., 1992; Kristeller & Hallett, 1999; Shapiro, Schwartz, & Bonner, 1998; Teasdale et al., 2000). Mindfulness Training as a Clinical Intervention: A Conceptual and Empirical Review by Ruth A. Baer 4

RCT N=30 primary chronic insomnia randomized 2:1 to MBSR or pharmacotherapy (PCT) MBSR=pharmacotherapy on: sleep onset latency, sleep quality andsleep efficiency Mindfulness-based stress reduction versus pharmacotherapy for chronic primary insomnia: a randomized controlled clinical trial."

Zhao (2011). 83 chronically ill patients mindfulness related to reductions in depression, stress, medical symptoms and increased sense of coherence Future research is needed to identify which factors lead to an increase in mindfulness. Increased mindfulness--the active component of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program?" Complement Ther Clin Pract 17(1): Some Theory Grant, J. A., J. Courtemanche, et al. (2011). Meditative practice, has been associated with pain reduction, low pain sensitivity, chronic pain improvement, and thickness of pain-related cortices. Zen meditation is more akin to 'no appraisal' than 'reappraisal'. This implies the cognitive evaluation of pain may be involved in the pain-related effects observed in meditators. "A non-elaborative mental stance and decoupling of executive and pain-related cortices predicts low pain sensitivity in Zen meditators." Pain 152(1):
8 Theory Using MRI and a thermal pain paradigm We show ZEN practitioners reduce activity in executive, evaluative and emotion areas during pain (prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus). Meditators with the most experience showed the largest activation reductions. Meditators activated primary pain processing regions (anterior cingulate cortex, thalamus, insula). Theory Lower pain sensitivity predicted by reductions in functional connectivity between executive and painrelated cortices Suggests functional decoupling of the cognitiveevaluative and sensory-discriminative dimensions of pain allowing practitioners to view painful stimuli more neutrally. Possible to self-regulate by reducing higher-order evaluative processes, as demonstrated here by the disengagement ofanterior brain systems in meditators. 7
