Healing the Healer is a 6-week course for healing professionals (including but not limited to doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers). We will build community and learn together. The course introduces important foundational principles of mindfulness including an understanding of what insight-based mindfulness is (and what it isn’t), the development of a safe anchor for formal and informal practice, guided meditations like RAIN and loving-kindness, and mindfulness of the body and breath through mindful movement. It covers working with stress and challenging situations in our respective fields. All principles and practices are introduced specifically for healing / healthcare professionals and their needs. It builds on various principles from psychology and medicine, including polyvagal theory, HPA axis, Dr. Daniel Siegel’s Window of Tolerance and River of Life concepts.
