Integrating Mindfulness Meditation into Counseling and Psychology: An Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Course number: CPSY x 803

This workshop is an intensive introduction to a meditation-based program, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). The program is founded upon the Buddhist practice of mindfulness meditation. However, MBSR is offered as a universal approach to coping with stress, which transcends culture and religion. This workshop will include a brief theoretical overview of mindfulness and highlight research demonstrating its potential efficacy across a wide range of stress-related disorders. The focus, however, will be on facilitating an experiential understanding of mindfulness through various mindfulness practices and exercises. The intention of this course is to introduce the basic model of mindfulness, and to explore ways of applying it both professionally and personally.
