Thank you for a fantastic presentation! Gave me new interesting knowledge about the brain-behaviour relationship and how we can contribute to a neural and behaviour development through mindfulness and compassion practice.

I am just starting to present these mindfulness trauma informed concepts to my telemedicine clinicians group. Any advise on how to further develop this 8 week program for our virtual Primary care patients?
I envision a synergistic effort across the medical and behavioral branches, with this type of coaching.
Thank you for your work and this insightful presentation.

Dr Z S-O,
I have been leading a self-created group for persons in recovery from mental health and substance use disorders for a behavioral health facility south of Boston for over ten years. Throughout your talk, I felt supported to realize that I have been incorporating into my ongoing group attentional focus, emotion regulation, interoceptive awareness, extinction of automatic behavior responses, and self- and other-directed compassion. I am grateful for your wise and compassionate teaching and scholarship.

thank you for this, i have a client this afternoon who is struggling and i feel I can use a lot what you have shared. Cornetta from Manchester, England

I greatly appreciated this mindful self-compassionate approach to addiction.

social media did not have such a deleterious effect if the parents had been good enough parents. addiction to peer pressure means childhood trauma and insecure attachment.

Fantastic program this year!

Wonderful blend of clinical science and compassion to underpin this essential program. Such great news. Thank you Dr. Zev.

A very positive and insightful session, thank you!
