How Mindful Stress Management can enhance your practice
Evidence based strategies for stress management are not yet commonly discussed or employed by healthcare professionals. Given the current state of the healthcare arena, it is critical that healthcare practitioners have strategies that they can use in real time, practice in the workplace and at home, and share with patients who lack resources to manage the complex emotions associated with illness and disease.
This is consistent with an integrative, biopsychosocial approach to self-care and patient-management that is easily accessible, non-pharmacological, and evidence based. Healthcare providers deserve preventive strategies that promote healthy lifestyles and their patients will benefit from practitioners who listen deeply, make safe and effective clinical decisions, and use psychologically informed, holistic approaches.
Burnout, compassion fatigue, and stress are real concerns in today’s healthcare arena. Mindful practice is a way of being with stress that prevents the cascade of autonomic, metabolic, and neurological events that can harm us. This course will teach evidence based practices that are simple to employ in any situation and have lasting effects on practitioner mental health and emotional well-being.
Course material will include the history of mindfulness and the explosion of neuroscientific research for the beneficial effects of mind-body interventions. It will discuss the neural correlates of the default mode network as compared to the experiential network and it will provide specific and detailed tools for daily practice. Concepts such as burnout, compassion fatigue, conflict, boundaries, and trauma will be covered. Updated research on the body’s neural axes will shine light on how stress affects every body system and how the by-products of stress predict chronic illness and dis-ease. Upon completion of the course you will be able to apply stress management strategies for yourself, your patients, and your colleagues to enhance health outcomes and quality of life.
Patients who are empowered to make decisions about their health that better reflect their personal circumstances experience improved health outcomes.
