Our Thoughts are Just Thoughts

Season 2 with Dr Richard Sears - In this episode of Mindfulness Off the Cushion, we continue on our journey to understand and apply the healing techniques of mindfulness, with special guest Dr. Richard Sears as our guide. Today, we will explore how mindfulness has grown to become integrated into modern-day therapy and how the practice impacts various presenting issues that patients bring to their therapy sessions. Along the way, we’ll offer up examples of scientific findings correlating mindfulness with physiological changes in our brains, as well as methods we can use to overcome overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
