About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.

The extraordinary effect of mindfulness on depression and anxiety

———————————————————————————-
Everyone’s experience with depression is different, but for comedian Pete Holmes the key to living with depression has been to observe his own thoughts in an impartial way.

Holmes’ method, taught to him by psychologist and spiritual leader Ram Dass, is to connect to his base consciousness and think about himself and his emotions in the third person. You can’t push depression away, but you can shift your mindset to help better cope with depression, anxiety, and negative emotions. If you feel depressed, you can connect with a crisis counselor anytime in the US.
———————————————————————————-
PETE HOLMES:

Pete Holmes is a comedian, writer, cartoonist, “Christ-leaning spiritual seeker”, and podcast host. His wildly popular podcast, You Made It Weird, is a comedic exploration of the meaning of life with guests ranging from Deepak Chopra and Elizabeth Gilbert to Seth Rogen and Garry Shandling.
———————————————————————————-
TRANSCRIPT:

PETE HOLMES: You woke up in a conundrum. You were born into a conundrum. And I don’t care how we label it or lower our anxiety by going, well, it’s this and it’s not this, and it’s that — let’s just talk about this shared mystery that we’re soaking in. I want to be careful here, talking about depression, because I had a friend who was very depressed, and I remember talking to him, out of love, trying to explain some of these ideas, some of these ways that we can think and interpret our suffering. And sometimes when someone is suffering, the last thing they want is for you to go, ‘Hey, there’s another way to look at this.’ That’s later. None of this is to be imposed on anybody, and I don’t want to belittle or just say, ‘You know your brain is — it’s your attachment to your desire to not be depressed that’s causing you–‘ no, none of that. That is not what I’m saying at all. We can give space to someone’s depression. We can love them, we can honor — we can just eat some noodles, we can watch some movies, whatever it is. We can just sit and not talk. That’s real stuff. It’s a real — I don’t know if you call it a disorder, a disease, but it’s happening, and we don’t need to coach people through with ideologies.

That being said, if you’re in a place to talk about this, usually when you’re not depressed, I found it helpful to step inside what I call the witness. And other traditions call that your soul. I believe science might just call it the phenomenon of your base consciousness. If you think about when you were born — I have a baby girl now; she’s not thinking in ideas yet. She doesn’t know she’s American. She doesn’t know she lives in California. Just like a ladybug doesn’t know it’s Italian. You know what I mean? It’s just awareness. So she’s just there. But slowly over time, we build up what Jung and others called the false self. So we have the story of who we are. I’m a man and I’m a comedian and I’m a tall man, I have big teeth, and all these things, and I like the first two Batman movies, and I don’t drink coffee, or whatever it is. So you build up this identity. And oftentimes, in that identity is where things like suffering are occurring, sometimes. I can’t speak for everybody. But I will say that for me, when I’ve been depressed — and I get depressed. I have irrational bouts of anxiety. I have random FedEx deliveries of despondency. Just like, “I didn’t order this. Oh, well, keep the PJs on, cancel everything you’re doing today. It’s time to take a sad shower.” That happens to me. So I’m speaking for me with full respect to other people’s processes and their experience.

When I’m depressed, if I can get into that quiet space, it’s the space that’s noticing the thoughts. So if you think, ‘I’m hungry’ — we always just think that ‘I’m hungry’ is the thought in the animal, and then we eat, and then it goes, ‘Thank you.’ Who’s talking to who, really? I would say that the thought is talking to your awareness, your base awareness, your witness. So that’s what’s watching your thoughts. And if you can get into that, you see how impartial and unswayed by your life circumstance this witness really is. It’s just there. It’s neutral. It’s just is-ness. It’s just this. And it’s just watching. It’s compassionate, it’s involved, it’s invested. But it’s not really as connected and tied to the events of your life story as you are, as your false self is. So when those depressions happen, I found it helpful — and this is something Ram Dass taught me — is instead o…

5 Fast Facts about Mindfulness Based Therapy

1. Your therapy will incorporate the practice of “mindfulness”; focusing your awareness on the present moment and, as best as you can, accepting or not judging the experience.

2. Practicing mindfulness usually involves setting aside some time (from a few minutes to several hours) trying to pay attention, for example, to your breath or walking or stretching or eating, and then noticing whatever comes up (including the inevitable distractions).

3. Mindfulness practices are not the same as relaxation (although you might feel relaxed) and they do not require you to clear your mind (although your mind might get clearer).

4. Although based on an adaptation of Buddhist meditation, the therapeutic version is secular.

5. Mindfulness meditation has been integrated into other types of psychotherapy or offered for particular types of issues. For example: cognitive therapy for depression relapse prevention (MBCT), stress reduction (MBSR), binge eating (MB-EAT) and substance abuse relapse prevention (MBRP) … and others.

Mindfulness At Work Tips

What exactly is mindfulness? Jon Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as “Paying attention to the present moment, non-judgmentally, to look at a situation in a different light.” It really is powerful stuff!

So why even think about mindfulness at work? Mindfulness is an amazing technique to help reduce stress.

So how can mindfulness help at work? Check out this research from Mindfulness Magazine Website: https://www.mindful.org/

Mindfulness is really about being able to look inward, being centered and grounded, so that we can look at situations in a different way, non-judgmentally and actually look at more opportunities that have presented themselves because we’re not blinded by stress.

What is it exactly that mindfulness can do?
1. It reduces stress. That is really important because it gives the techniques to the individuals to teach them how to do that – how they can reduce their own stress.
2. Cohesion and bonding between teams. If you have teams that are not working together it’s because they are so focused on themselves, stress levels are probably a bit high as well and as a result, they can’t deal with other people around them. However, when you are mindful and as an organization you embrace those mindfulness techniques, it really can take away the aspect of “me”, ego, and bring us back into the aspect of “we”, a team and actually then have a more cohesive team.
3. It improves the focus on tasks. If we are too stressed, we don’t have the ability to truly focus and mindfulness and the techniques it brings can help connect that.

Mindfulness based approaches such as MBCT are on the spotlight and it is wonderful that these concepts are getting more attention. However, as more people are introduced to these practices, there is often a misunderstanding of what MBCT really is. This webinar will explore the main characteristics of MBCT, its scientific base, and will try to clarify some common misconceptions or confusion with similar approaches. The session will also explore how MBCT can help us recognize how we become entangled in streams of worries, self-criticism and ruminative thinking, and slowly learn to break free from these patterns to improve our well-being. No prior mindfulness experience or knowledge required.

What is mindfulness and how can it help people in recovery from addiction?

Drug and alcohol addictions rob you of your physical health and also destroy the mind. Consumed by your thoughts to deal with pain in a destructive and life-threatening way, it’s easy to forget who you are when overwhelmed with addiction. It’s important in recovery to form healthy habits that will help renew both your mind and body.

Being mindful can mean many different things depending on who you ask. Some people use meditation to quiet and calm their worried mind. Others find a certain kind of peace in exercise and conditioning their bodies. Or it may do you good to try something artistic in the form of painting, photography, music, cooking, journaling, filmmaking, or other creative endeavors. No matter your path to mindfulness, the ultimate goal is to find clarity and make healthy choices to replace destructive patterns.

We reached out to some of our friends and professionals, including a therapist, people in recovery and singer/songwriter, to ask them about their experience with mindfulness.
