If you are using mindfulness and other mind/body skills in your practice, you can buy David’s products wholesale and resell them to your clients to support their inner resource development. Everyone needs to be able to recognize when they are getting reactive or being pulled off center, and then have the necessary skills to calm their mind and relax their body, so they can move back to responding effectively to the demands of daily life and their moment-to-moment experiences.
David recommends beginning clients with stabilization skills like practicing the relaxation response. This is the skill of focusing attention to one part of your experience, such as your breathing, a candle, or as in Transcendental Meditation, a mantra, for about 3 to 5 minutes to move the nervous system from the sympathetic branch stimulated in the fight or flight reaction to the parasympathetic branch, which calms us down. Specific visualizations are good stabilization skills too, like Safe Space. David uses a variety of visualization exercises to develop inner resources including: Safe Space, Inner Guide, Courage, and Adventure. These guided creative visualizations will be available soon, each being about 5 minutes in length.
Mindfulness is used initially to help clients identify the cues that let them know they are becoming reactive and vulnerable to the behaviors they are seeking to avoid with therapy. As clients develop their calming skills and increase their tolerance for distress (normal pain), then therapy can include exposure work on the sources of neurotic reactivity and trauma-based reactions. Mindfulness in daily life then becomes useful to integrate the healing work of therapy sessions and is a wonderful resource for maintaining goals when therapy is completed.
If these skills are new to you, David is available for clinical supervision and consultation. If you want to further develop your integration of mindfulness, creative visualization, guided imagery, and relaxation training into your work with clients, try listening to David’s CDs yourself - then call David to arrange a consultation.
