Mindful is defined as "a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique."
Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, we are complicated people having to contend with quick fixes and instant gratifications.
If we consider that mindfulness can be the key to healing ourselves, emotionally as well as physically, it is to our benefit to learn what mindfulness means for you and your healing.
Today I had the opportunity to sit down with Ruth Fearnow, a trauma-informed therapist, with training in EMDR and mindfulness practices. Ruth has a lot of knowledge about the practice of mindfulness, her own personal story, and a recent book called Therapeutic Mindfulness: a Healing Skill, Not a Coping Skill.
