About this book
This book instructs readers on how to teach mindfulness skills that can be incorporated into everyday life, addressing the specific challenges of effectively passing these skills on to clients in a user-friendly way.
Designed to help professionals introduce mindfulness to clients, the skills laid out in this book can help those struggling with problems of recurrent stress or ruminative thought, and benefit people wanting to live in a more effective, rewarding way. Incorporating a series of practical exercises and drawing on their own professional experience, the authors clearly demonstrate the most effective methods for presenting mindfulness techniques to those with no previous experience. Topics covered include orienting the client to the skill, obtaining and using client feedback effectively, and introducing simple practice. This newly updated edition features up-to-date references and new clinical examples and a new chapter focused on adapting the material for specific clinical populations and for working online.
This practical, structured guide is essential for professionals already teaching or planning to teach mindfulness skills, those taking courses or workshops, and anyone interested in learning more about mindfulness.
