Based on her best-selling book Emotional Alchemy, this workshop explores Tara Bennett-Goleman's unique approach to healing emotions, which grew out of her years of meditation practice and work as a psychotherapist, and Daniel Goleman's explorations in his books, Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence.
Using an innovative synthesis of neuroscience and Buddhist psychology, this workshop blends ancient and contemporary approaches for transforming dysfunctional emotional habits. Combining a new dimension of cognitive therapy with an investigative awareness and a reparative compassion, the Golemans help us explore the many ways we can transform emotional confusion into insightful clarity, thereby releasing ourselves from powerful habits of reactivity.
Mindfulness is an ancient awareness tool which, when integrated with these approaches, enhances their effectiveness and sustains their continuity, leading to a more genuine connection with ourselves and each other. Helpful for health-care professionals or anyone who wants to experience this revolutionary work, Emotional Alchemy can be practiced in daily life or applied in one's professional work.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
- Identify the major “schemas,” the framework of dysfunctional emotional patterns in cognitive therapy, and recognize their signs.
- Define mindfulness and employ this method of mind training in monitoring schemas.
- Apply the integration of mindfulness and schema therapy.
- Distinguish three methods of mindfulness and their appropriate applications.
- Formulate the neural basis of emotional “hijacks” and the brain circuitry that both triggers and controls such arousal states.
- Differentiate unconscious emotional reactions from mindful interventions.
- Review current findings from cognitive and brain science as applied to the therapeutic change process.
- Discuss neuroplasticity as the basis for behavior change.
