Mindfulness Counselor Certification

Join our mindfulness counselor certification program and help others permanently reduce stress, overcome attention challenges, unpack their grief and move into acceptance. Also support your clients to improve their relationships, heal from past trauma, and find freedom from guilt and shame. The following Counseling Objectives are important because they raise resilience in three areas. You will be trained to use an inventory tool and a thorough assessment to determine which areas of resilience your clients need support improving. The three areas of resilience are:

 

  • Comfort with what is (mind)

  • Comfort with change in status quo (gut)

  • Comfort with uncertainty (heart)

 

The following are ways low resilience manifests in your clients’ lives:

 

Lowest resilience in "comfort with what is" indicates the majority of your client’s stress is caused by unhealthy thought cycles, such as, worry, overthinking and rumination.

 

Lowest resilience in "comfort with change in status quo" indicates the majority of your client’s stress is caused by their inability to soothe their sympathetic nervous system, which causes physical and emotional instability.

 

Lowest resilience in "comfort with uncertainty" indicates the majority of your client’s stress is caused by their unhealed trauma.

 

As a Mindfulness Coach certification candidate, you will learn how to use over 60 tools and exercises that address these coaching objectives from our mindfulness coaching school. After 5 months of mindfulness coach training you will begin your clinical practice, which includes coaching six clients during three sessions each.
