Mindfulness based psychotherapy
Mindfulness-based psychotherapy or Core Process PsychotherapyQuintus is studying for a Post Qualification Master of Arts (PQMA) in Mindfulness based psychotherapy with the intention of becoming a psychotherapist and has completed his 1st year of studies at the Kauna Institute in Devon. Quintus is available as a trainee psychotherapist under supervision, to see clients on a long term basis.
The Karuna Institute founded by Maura and Franklyn Sills in 1984, is an international residential Training and Retreat Centre. All the activities of the Institute are based on mindfulness practice. As such, Karuna is one of the oldest Centres worldwide to integrate and teach mindfulness practices as professional healing skills in the west. They offer trainings in Core Process Psychotherapy and Craniosacral Biodynamic Therapy with both streams leading to professional qualifications.
Core Process Psychotherapy, having been established in 1982, is one of the original mindfulness-based psychotherapy training programs. Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practice underpin this work. Teachings are drawn from different Buddhist sources and lineages to create a broad vehicle for the training of psychotherapists, which is integrated with western personality theory, psychodynamics and psychotherapy skills.
This training programme draws on thirty years of experience in offering psychotherapy trainings based on mindfulness practice. Course participants develop the ability to deepen into a state of presence and learn to bring this state of awareness into relationship. Presence-in-relationship then becomes the ground of enquiry into the client’s arising process.
In Core Process work both therapist and client are engaged in a joint healing process where an awareness of the body, its feelings and feeling tones, and the content and states of mind that arise, are used to explore the nature of selfhood and suffering. The therapist's essential role is that of reflector and facilitator of awareness. The heart of Core Process work is oriented to the belief that true healing is only possible to the extent that we can be fully present to the immediacy of our inner and outer experience.
