The Center for Mind Body Medicine is a not for profit group designed to teach techniques to health professions for dealing with trauma and stress in their client population. I am an MSW in private practice. In the last few years I have been introduced to this work through trainings at CMBM. These trainings have taken my work with stress and trauma one step further as I have learned both to teach my clients additional ways to deal with their trauma, and how as a therapist to take care of myself as I deal with the difficult issues brought to the session by my clients. The mind body techniques help my clients to lower their stress immediately and have more control over themselves and their reactions to stress and traumas in the future. My journey with the Center for Mind Body Medicine has been and continues to be a life giving process. I now serve on the board at CMBM and I look forward to many more years of learning and growing through my association with CMBM.
