Description
The benefits of mindfulness have been demonstrated in a variety of settings, and it has been utilized in different types of therapies for decades. From Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in the 1970s to newer incarnations such as Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT), there is much to be gained from mindfulness-based treatments. This poster will touch on the major aspects of mindfulness as a therapeutic element and explore what this means for librarians as we focus both on self-care and the application of contemplative practices, helping participants to gain a better understanding of self-reflective activities.
