Breath-Body-Mind (BBM) Fundamentals provides didactic and experiential training in Stress Reduction for Healthcare Providers: voluntarily regulated breathing practices (VRBPs) with movement, awareness/mindfulness, and attention focus, derived from yoga, qigong, martial arts, and meditation, honed with modern neuropsychiatry. These evidence-based cross-cultural techniques that help relieve stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD can be modified for office, hospital, family and group therapy, schools, military bases, or mass disaster settings.

Dr. Patricia Gerbarg updates evidence that VRBPs and related practices relieve stress, trauma, depression, exhaustion, and pain in healthcare workers and disasters survivors. Breath-Body-Mind programs have been effective for treating survivors of the 9/11 World Trade Center Attacks, military service, genocides in Rwanda and Myanmar, COVID pandemic, Ukraine war, earthquake in Turkey, and more. Risks, benefits, and adaptations for physical and psychological conditions are discussed.

Dr. Richard Brown leads Experiential Training with gentle movement, VRBPs, and Open Awareness (meditation on space). Awareness/mindfulness of breath, interoceptions, and psychophysiological state are cultivated. Group processes with Q&A enhance learning of practical mind-body methods for self-care and stress reduction.

All participants attend sessions with Dr. Gerbarg and Dr. Brown as well as smaller group meetings in breakout rooms where senior BBM teachers provide individual observation and feedback to optimize breath techniques. Participants are required to keep cameras on to enable faculty to observe how they respond and perform each technique. Group processes enhance awareness of psycho-neurophysiological states and relatedness.

In 6 weekly 1-hour follow-up sessions, participants consolidate skills for their personal stress resilience and emotion regulation. For those interested in integrating these methods into clinical practice, this course fulfills the prerequisite for BBM Teacher Training Level-1. We strongly advise participants to develop their personal practice and to complete BBM Teacher Training before trying to teach these methods to patients..

Spaces are limited. Register early.

Continuing Education Credits: In support of improving patient care, the American Psychiatric Association is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. The APA designates this live webinar activity for a maximum of 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Dr. Gerbarg discusses research—studies of anxiety, PTSD, COVID stress, bowel disease, and everyday stress—on how breath techniques, combined with other practices, lead to significant rapid improvements in psychological and physical wellbeing, sympathetic-parasympathetic balance, emotion regulation, and symptom resolution in a wide range of conditions. She presents new developments in BBM disaster relief in Ukraine, Israel, Turkey, Rwanda, Ireland, and other places. Learn more about this groundbreaking work at breath-body-mind.com.

• This Couse will be Taught in English with Ukrainian Translation

• March 8, 15, and 21, 2023

• 9:00 am – 12 noon (ET); 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm (UK); 4:00 pm – 7 pm (Ukraine)

This course has been developed by Jyoti Jo Manuel to expand on the BBM practices to include movement, massage techniques, breathwork, relaxation and mindful practices specifically for children who are traumatized by war or displacement.

The intention is to offer therapeutic techniques to help the children to normalize their experience of trauma as much as possible, and keep them safely and comfortably embodied so that there is less risk of long term PTSD.

Each age from 0-10 years will be broken down developmentally according to the child’s physical, physiological and emotional development. As we know, trauma can have such a huge impact on their developing bodies and minds. With Jyoti’s extensive experience of working with children over many years, you will learn effective therapeutic techniques to support each child to thrive.

This 9-hour Certificate Training Course counts towards Breath-Body-Mind Certification in Child Teaching.

Pre-requisite for booking this course is an established practice of coherent breathing.

Fees: £300 sterling
