Stress
I received experiential training in Mindful Stress Reduction at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Learned hopelessness is when we feel that there is nothing that can change our anxiety in relation to stress. Tension relaxation techniques can allow us to learn new ways to manage our stress-related issues.
I believe it is necessary to integrate mindfulness meditation and ecopsychological teachings into one’s life to fully benefit from therapeutic counseling; each technique allows for greater awareness on a personal level and a sense of connection to other beings and our environment.
I have found that by simply taking a stroll in the park or walking on the beach and taking a minute to bring focus, we can begin the process of healing.
