Description Of Cultivating Presence Through Mindful Self-Care
In this talk, we will learn a variety of ways to use mindfulness to practice better self-care, both inside and outside of the clinical hour. In the process, we will discover how this effort can increase our capacity to be more fully present – with ourselves, with our patients, and with others in our lives.
