Description
Description:
Mindfulness-based psychotherapy provides an evidence-based model for integrating diverse cultural beliefs and wisdoms in therapy. This course will demonstrate how to integrate cultural beliefs and wisdoms in short-term psychotherapies. Non Western societies attach more importance to the heart. The heart is considered central to producing changes in psychotherapy because a person validates reality not by how they think (cognition) but how the person feels (affect). Moreover, societal pressure and the focus on individualism unintentionally create -neurosis and a tendency towards -narcissism in our culture. This Short Course will demonstrate how to utilize wisdoms (derived from various cultures) in brief therapies to help clients reframe their dysfunctional beliefs and values; become more mindful of their inner reality; and harmonize their mind (cognitions) and heart (feeling).
Educational Objectives:
- List three main reasons for synthesizing cultural beliefs and values in brief psychotherapy.
- State three strategies for reframing rigid cultural values.
- Use a strategy to help your client harmonize the mind (cognition) and the heart (feeling) in therapy.
