For those of us with busy lives, but who also want to remain relevant in our psychotherapy practices, having an online course such as this one in mindfulness that did not require more than 90 minutes of my time was a wonderful find. There's a lot of information and education on how to engage your clients in a very effective, albeit "non sexy" intervention that can target anxiety, anger and grief and reduce it in short time.
