Mindscapes

Today, many of us are  experiencing stress arising from a wide variety of sources: the family,  job, finances, daily reports of global political and economic upheaval;  and struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed,   disordered eating,  chronic worry, rumination, GI distress, fibromyalgia, headaches, sleep  disturbance, fatigue, high blood pressure and more.

The  speed of change and the amazing technology that enables us to be  connected to everyone and everything all day, every day, whether we want  to or not, can overwhelm our ability to recover our balance.  Our  physical, emotional and spiritual health and our most valued  relationships may suffer the consequences.

How we react to potentially  stressful events will cause us suffering or peace. We may not be able  to control events but we do have the ability to choose the attitude we  bring to a situation, suffer less as a consequence, and enhance our  well-being, even in the midst of extreme difficulty. 

Through mindfulness - the awareness that results from paying attention to the present moment with curiosity, interest, and non-judgment,   it is possible to notice how thoughts affect our well-being - bringing  us suffering, peace or happiness. With mindful awareness, and a  willingness to face what arises in experience, in our minds and in our  bodies, we can learn to be less reactive and fearful, respond more  wisely and experience our lives more richly.

I  offer the Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction program ( MBSR),   individual mindfulness instruction, individual psychotherapy, and couple  therapy.

“Everything  can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of  the  human freedoms —to choose one's attitude in any given set of  circumstances, to choose one's own way."
