MTER-100 Mindfulness Training for Emotional Resilience (12 hours)
Format: Synchronous and virtual over Zoom Video Conference Platform (see minimum technical requirements)
Cost: $299 + HST
No textbook required
Overview of the Course
This program teaches students to use mindfulness to engage in daily life, regulate difficult emotions, and develop a feeling of safety in the body. Concepts from sensorimotor psychotherapy, such as the “window of tolerance” and the basics of neuroscience, are taught within this program to help participants understand the importance of modulating arousal in order to stay well. There will also be time for in-session practice teaching of exercises and guided meditations.
This 12-hour/2-day training (see dates below) will emphasize experiential learning by leading participants through the traditional 4-week MTER curriculum followed by group discussion on their experience. Rather than learn MTER over the course of 4 sessions spread across 4 weeks, in the morning of the first session, students will cover material they would have covered elsewhere in a week; in the afternoon of the first session, students will cover the material they would have learned in the second week; etc. This course condenses the material that would otherwise occupy a month-long commitment in an effort to facilitate the schedules of working professionals. Successful students will be able to, at a novice level:
a. Support clients in clinical practice using MTER resources and skills
b. Deepen their own mindfulness practices
c. Provide mindfulness-based interventions for clients
