On today’s episode, we talk with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher Elaine Retholtz. MBSR is an 8-week program that offers intensive mindfulness training to assist people with stress, anxiety, depression and pain. Elaine has been active in the field for many years; she started exploring meditation in the 1960s. She was the first teacher in NYC certified by the Center for Mindfulness and she co-founded the NYC MBSR Teacher Collaborative. MBSR is a great strategy for Type C people to experiment with to manage the mind-based rules we live by as well as our responses to stress.
