Mindfulness is a rapidly expanding area of psychotherapy practice, but most approaches teach mindfulness in formal group settings. Although these groups are probably the ideal forum for learning mindfulness practice, many clients will not attend because of accessibility issues, time limitations, financial considerations, or simple disinterest in a group. In this video, Dr. Diane Gehart demonstrates how to teach basic mindfulness breath meditation in a one-on-one therapy session. When teaching mindfulness individually or with couples and families, therapists must find a way to connect with the client's needs and motivations as well as the practical issues of when and how to practice. This video offers views a practical approach to collaboratively integrating mindfulness into everyday clinical practice.
