Mindfulness and psychotherapy
Mindfulness is the simple practice of bringing gentle, moment-to-moment attentiveness to the body-mind process. It is a direct, powerful way of understanding and transforming the habits and patterns that distort our capacity for equanimity, joy and peace.
Core process psychotherapy brings mindfulness into a safely held relational context.
