As a scientist, an article in the journal nature is about as good as it gets, and seeing a scientific review of the effectiveness of mindfulness on stress reduction has major impact. Please find my summary of direct excerpts from the article if you don’t have time to read the whole paper: 👍🏻Mindfulness witnessed a substantial popularity surge in the past decade, especially as digitally self-administered interventions became available at relatively low costs. Yet, it is uncertain whether they effectively help reduce stress. ✅Engaging in mindfulness meditation appears simple: one is asked to focus one’s attention on the breath and on the present moment, without needing complex postures, settings or apparatus. Partly because of this apparent simplicity, mindfulness meditation protocols that can be self-administered have increased in accessibility and popularity in recent years. 📲Easier accessibility is due to availability of diverse formats, for example, self-help books, computer programmes, smartphone apps and audio and video recordings. 💁🏼‍♀️Many self-administered mindfulness interventions hold promises for reducing stress levels despite being short and allowing one to practice if and when one decides. 📝Therefore, the primary objective of this multi-site project was to test the comparative effectiveness of self-administered mindfulness exercises in reducing individuals’ stress levels when compared to a non-mindful active control condition. 🤩Results of the study confirm that all four mindfulness exercises (body scan, mindful breathing, mindful walking and loving kindness) decreased participants’ self-reported stress compared to listening to one of the three story excerpts that was part of the active control condition.✅⭐️

EMDR + Psychedelic Integration: A Neuroplasticity Powerhouse 💡 Did you know? Psychedelics can accelerate neuroplasticity, helping the brain rewire itself and process traumatic memories more effectively. When combined with EMDR’s structured approach to memory reprocessing, it becomes a powerful tool for deep healing. With EMDR + Psychedelic Integration, bilateral stimulation helps the brain integrate sensory and emotional material, allowing clients to make sense of their psychedelic experiences. This approach is particularly valuable for individuals with complex trauma but effective for anyone attempting to resolve pathogenic memories. Are you exploring EMDR and psychedelic therapies in your practice? How are you integrating these techniques?

Foundational Benefits of Therapeutic Presence ✨ Therapeutic presence is a way of being that optimizes the doing and techniques of therapy. Growing research is demonstrating therapeutic presence as a common factor to a strong therapeutic alliance and outcome. Presence provides clients with a sense of safety, allowing them to be seen, heard, understood, and “feel felt,” while also strengthening the therapeutic relationship so they can engage in effective therapeutic work. TP invites therapists to balance presence and compassion within themselves and with clients, ensuring they remain centered and effective even in the face of difficult emotions. This type of relationship helps regulate clients' emotions and supports their movement towards emotional health and neurophysiological integration. Practicing TP also sustains clinicians' vitality, connection, and effectiveness. For more information about therapeutic presence and/or to participate in an upcoming workshop on Cultivating Therapeutic Presence led by Dr. Geller on May 9 & 10, 2024, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gfnkRCsM

While traditional in-person therapy has been the cornerstone of mental health care for decades, the rise of virtual therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a conversation around the benefits and drawbacks of different therapy delivery methods. As we continue to navigate the complexities of providing trauma-informed mental health care, Brickel and Associates remains committed to offering high-quality services that meet the needs of our clients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, online therapy became a vital tool for ensuring the continuity of care for many individuals. However, we believe that in-person therapy offers a more visceral and nuanced approach to care, particularly for trauma survivors who may benefit from the added depth of connection and sensory experience. Our experience has shown us that the physical presence in a therapist's office can create a sense of safety and security for clients, essential for those who have experienced a loss of safety in the past. Therefore, in our Old Town, Alexandria therapy practice, we primarily offer in-person therapy sessions, recognizing the unique benefits that face-to-face interactions can provide. While virtual therapy has its conveniences - from eliminating the need to travel to offering accessibility to those in remote areas - there is something special about the depth of connection that can be fostered through in-person therapy. Clients can engage more fully with their therapist, allowing for a more comprehensive assessment and the creation of a safe and secure therapeutic environment. While we understand that everyone’s therapeutic journey is unique, we prioritize in-person sessions for the depth of connection and therapeutic potential they offer. Your well-being is our top priority, and we are here to offer support along the way.
