This document provides information about mindfulness, including its origins in Buddhism, definitions, facets, measures, interventions, and exercises. It defines mindfulness as paying attention to the present moment non-judgmentally. Facets include self-regulation of attention and orientation to experience. Common interventions discussed are Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT), and mindfulness-based approaches for eating disorders and relationships. Exercises include mindfulness of breath meditation and noting thoughts.
The humanistic perspective emphasizes individual freedom, meaning, dignity, and competence. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was developed from these principles to help patients manage stress, pain, and illness. MBSR is an 8-week program teaching mindfulness meditation skills to increase awareness of mind-body connections and reduce suffering. Research shows MBSR lowers stress levels and improves mental health outcomes by cultivating non-judgmental present-moment awareness.

Research shows that through prolonged mindfulness practice the insular region of the brain is enhanced leading to increased self-awareness, emotional regulation and wellbeing. Further, a reduction of anxiety by the amygdala through mindfulness-based practices is well established in the literature.
Dr. Pennington's Attunement Meditation empowers people to build 9 essential resilience traits for wellbeing and relapse prevention, including:
non-judgmental awareness, present moment attention,acceptance,
self-compassion, physiological stress reduction, letting go/surrender, emotional intelligence, self-generated positive emotion and gratitude, and adaptability.
We Need To Be Mindful About Mindfulness - Psychology Matters 2017Chris Noone
We are used to hearing about the benefits of mindfulness for everything from relieving stress to making chocolate tastier - it is even being employed by the US military to improve their troops' performance levels. This begs the question of how much do we really know about what mindfulness is, how it might work and in what situations is it truly useful? We'll take a look at how psychology has addressed these questions and what this means for the application of mindfulness in different areas of society.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-week program using mindfulness meditation to reduce stress. Two studies showed MBSR reduced stress, anxiety, and burnout in nurses and nursing students. MBSR was developed in 1979 and includes weekly classes, daily home practice, and retreats. Providers are certified through an intensive training. Nurses experience high stress levels negatively impacting their health, so MBSR can help implement self-care strategies to improve well-being.
This document discusses a research project exploring how mindfulness training can improve workplace health and safety. The University of California is piloting a "Mindful Health and Safety" program to reduce injuries, illnesses, costs and stress among employees. Researchers adapted an existing mindfulness-based stress reduction course to focus on safety. They plan to formally pilot the program with nurses and conduct informal pilots with other staff. The goal is to test if mindfulness training can boost attention, well-being and job performance while lowering health risks and costs for employers.
This document summarizes a webinar on the treatment of obsessive-compulsive symptoms using exposure and response prevention therapy. It begins by differentiating normal and abnormal anxiety, then discusses functional assessment of anxiety which involves understanding fear cues, misperceptions, safety behaviors, and feared consequences. Exposure therapy is described as involving prolonged, graduated exposure to fear cues while preventing safety behaviors. Response prevention refers to refraining from rituals meant to reduce anxiety. The effectiveness of this approach is supported by randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses.

The document provides information about Albert Ellis and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Some key points:
- Albert Ellis developed REBT in 1955 as one of the first cognitive behavioral therapies. REBT is based on the idea that emotional problems are caused by irrational beliefs rather than external events.
- According to REBT, people disturb themselves through their irrational thoughts and beliefs about events rather than the events themselves. The goal of therapy is to identify and dispute irrational beliefs and replace them with more rational alternatives.
- Ellis believed humans have the capacity for both rational and irrational thinking. REBT aims to help people accept themselves while also learning to think more rationally about difficult situations.
- The ABC model is used in REBT

Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment in a nonjudgmental way. Research shows mindfulness can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while improving well-being. For problem gambling, mindfulness may help by reducing experiential avoidance and rumination. Mindfulness interventions teach urge surfing to experience urges without acting on them. Studies find mindfulness combined with CBT is most effective for problem gambling by addressing cognitive distortions and improving emotional regulation. However, mindfulness requires daily practice and may not benefit all individuals.
This seminar discusses inner well-being and social and emotional health. It defines well-being as consisting of physical, social, emotional, and spiritual aspects.

The document summarizes research on mindfulness-based interventions for eating disorders and obesity. It finds that while the application of such treatments is becoming more common, the empirical evidence is still limited due to small sample sizes and lack of control groups in the 8 existing studies. Mindfulness training focuses on self-regulation of attention and an open, curious, and accepting orientation in the present moment. Specific mindfulness exercises applied to eating include slowing down eating, full awareness of tastes and sensations, and non-judgmental observation of emotions and thoughts around food.
Cultivating Mindfulness to Support RecoveryDawn Farm
“Cultivating Mindfulness to Support Recovery” was presented on Tuesday December 17, 2013; by Libby Robinson Ph.D., MSW. Mindfulness practices can help support an individual’s recovery from substance use disorders. This presentation will describe mindfulness, provide opportunities to experience and cultivate mindfulness, and review the evidence of its positive effect on recovery. Dr. Robinson has taught Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction since 2003. She has practiced mindfulness meditation since 1979 and was trained to teach Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction by Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness, where he developed this program for cultivating mindfulness. She recently retired from the University of Michigan, where she was a U of M Research Assistant Professor, carrying out NIH-funded research on the role of spiritual and religious change in recovery. She also did an NIAAA post-doctoral fellowship at the U of M Addiction Research Center and was on the social work faculty at Case Western Reserve University and the University at Buffalo. Dr. Robinson has an MSW and MPH from the University of Michigan, as well as her Ph.D. in Psychology and Social Work. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of chemical dependency services.

This document provides an overview of mindfulness, including what it is, how it can help people, mindfulness practices, and benefits. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way. It can help reduce stress and negative thoughts by shifting people from a "doing" to a "being" mode. Formal mindfulness practices include body scans and meditation. Research shows mindfulness can benefit those dealing with pain, depression, anxiety and other conditions.
The document discusses how physical, intellectual, emotional, and social (P.I.E.S.) health affect personal development in adolescents. It defines adolescence as the period of transition from childhood to adulthood, and hormones as chemicals that regulate bodily functions and trigger physical changes. Understanding the changes taking place due to hormones helps adolescents positively develop during this period. The document then discusses each area of P.I.E.S. development and provides examples of how to develop each area in healthy ways to work towards one's potential.
Most approaches to mindfulness are geared toward the individual level and not the social or community level to which traditional mindfulness methods were targeted. It is not only about our own personal growth but the enlightenment of the community as a whole. We are never separate. And this insight is fundamental for any effective wellbeing effort (workplace or otherwise). This experiential webinar will feature a cursory overview of mindfulness (definition, measurement, practices) and participants will be invited to complete introspective surveys about their own mindfulness to help ground the social conversation for the webinar. We will then contemplate seven different ways in which wellness champions can show up in a mindful way within the social context (community or sangha) of their work setting. These are listed below. Participants will be invited to self-assess their capacity for each and given tools to continue developing each.

The Benefits of Infant Massage for Parents Who Have Experienced Miscarriage o...Mary Kay Keller, MPA, PhD
Miscarriage and perinatal death are devastating events that affect a significant number of prospective parents worldwide. These experiences can result in profound grief and emotional distress, often accompanied by feelings of guilt, blame, and anxiety (Brier, 2008; Lok, 2014). While numerous support systems and therapies exist to help individuals cope with pregnancy loss, this presentation explores the potential therapeutic benefits of infant massage, a practice primarily aimed at enhancing the parent-infant bond, in the context of healing after miscarriage or prenatal death.
Infant massage is a tactile therapy involving the gentle manipulation of a baby's body, often using various oils or lotions. It has been utilized for centuries across different cultures as a means of promoting relaxation, enhancing infant development, and fostering attachment between caregivers and infants (Ferber, 2016). Infant massage may have specific applications in aiding the emotional recovery of parents who have experienced pregnancy loss.
Miscarriage and prenatal death can have a profound psychological impact on parents. Common emotional responses include grief, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Hughes et al., 2019; Tong, Lu, & Lee, 2012). The trauma associated with these experiences may persist long after the event itself, affecting the ability of parents to form healthy emotional bonds with subsequent children (Kersting et al., 2004).
Parents whose infant may have died post delivery have already experience pre-natal bonding (2022 IMUSA Presentation). Parents who experience miscarriage during the pregnancy experience the death of a fetus experience stages of grief.
Miscarriage and prenatal death can be emotionally traumatic events for prospective parents, often resulting in heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Infant massage, as a form of touch therapy, offers a unique opportunity for parents to bond with their newborns while potentially addressing their emotional distress.
Counselling for Anxiety and Stress by Therapy and Intervention I.pptxKiranDammani1
Stress is any demand placed on your brain or physical body. Any event or scenario that makes you feel frustrated or nervous can trigger it. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, or unease. While it can occur as a reaction to stress, it can also happen without any obvious trigger. Both stress and anxiety involve mostly identical symptoms, including- trouble sleeping, digestive issues, difficulty in concentrating, muscle tension, irritability or anger etc.
This document discusses personal-professional balance for physicians. It defines balance as successfully balancing professional responsibilities with personal priorities like family, relationships, self-care and growth. Lack of balance can lead to burnout, with high levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal achievement reported in many physicians. Strategies to prevent burnout include reflecting on personal values and priorities, spending quality time with family and friends, self-care activities, finding meaning in work, having a mentor, and practicing mindfulness. Maintaining balance is critical for physical, emotional and spiritual health.
The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

7. Compassion Fatigue
Secondary to traumatic stress disorder
observed in caregivers who absorb the traumatic
stress of those they help or as a by product of
emotional empathic connections with patients.
It occurs over time as a result of intense and
prolonged empathic care to people who suffer or
experience trauma.
(Bush, 2009)
12. Compassion Fatigue
EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS:
• Frequent use of sick days
• Lack of joyfulness
• Mood swings, restlessness, irritability, oversensitivity
• Anxiety, depression, anger and resentment
• Excessive use of: nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, drugs
• Loss of objectivity, focus, and judgment
• Poor concentration, memory issues (Boyle, 2011)
13. Compassion Fatigue
WORK RELATED SYMPTOMS:
• Avoidance or dread of working with certain patients
or peers
• Reduced ability to feel empathy towards patients or
families
• Frequent use of sick days
• Lack of joyfulness (Boyle, 2011)
15. The expectation that we can be
immersed in suffering and loss daily
and not be touched by it is as
unrealistic as expecting to be able to
walk on water without getting wet.
This sort of denial is no small matter
(Boyle, 2011).
Three categories of interventions used
to decrease the intensity of
compassion fatigue
• Work/life balance
• Education
• Work-setting programs
17. Work/Life Balance
A focus of attention that creates a
biological process that promotes
health (Seigel, 2010)
18. Work/Life Balance
Practice mindfulness
• Name and Tame (Seigel, 2010) – acknowledge your
emotions and move on
• Practice yoga
• Practice the skill of being in the moment by focusing on
your breath, if your mind wanders bring it back to your
slow breaths, take notice of all of your senses, be aware
from head to toe [ try to work up to 15 minutes a day ]
19. Work/Life Balance
• Self-Awareness - if we don't know ourselves, how can we
understand others?
• Self-Regulation - checking our emotions and managing them.
• Self-Motivation - directing emotion towards a purpose.
• Empathy - understanding and seeing from another person's
perspective.
• Effective Relationships - interacting and managing
relationships.
(Eason,2009)
20. Robert Emmons (2000) defines
spiritual intelligence as "the adaptive
use of spiritual information to facilitate
everyday problem solving and goal
attainment."
Work/Life Balance
21. Work/Life Balance
Nourish your spirit
• Start a journal http://janetconner.wordpress.com/the-
book/
• Take time for peaceful moments BREATH
• Relish small accomplishments
• Practice living in the present
• Sing or hum – shift negative energy to positive energy
• Meditate with positive words and phrases
22. Work/Life Balance
Work/life balance enables nurses to develop
positive self-care strategies and healthy rituals.
It involves establishing a self-care plan that is
RELENTLESSELY carried out in an attempt to
enhance a calm state (Boyle, 2011).
23. Education
Basic skills that can be learned are:
• Identify personal coping strategies
• Develop caring communication styles
• Establish boundaries in relationships with patients and family
• Understand family systems theory and identify family norms
• Re-frame ‘difficult’ interactions with individual patients and families
• Resolve interpersonal relationship problems in the work setting
• Cope with ethical conflict and dilemmas
• Utilize self-care strategies such as meditation and mindfulness
(Boyle, 2011)
24. Work Setting Interventions
• On-site counseling that is visible and accessible
• Support groups for staff
• De-briefing sessions that focus on identifying helpful and non-helpful
approaches to events in clinical practice can help develop new skill
competencies
• Massage sessions also provide both mental and physical breaks
Bereavement interventions, for example funeral attendance or memorial
service participation
• Attention to spiritual needs is paramount as so much of the
tragedy, sadness, and sense of futility that nurses may experience is
associated with life and death issues (Boyle, 2011)
25. Nurses are often expected to be
• always on duty
• always operating
• processing information
• using our skills
26. Unless our work and personal lives are
carefully balanced the physical and mental
consequences of an
life can be exhausting.
27. • Born through good intentions
• Prevention by way of mindful
practice of self-preservation
• Healing by way of learning
new habits and reactions
