While I have studied and been aware of many of the concepts in this course (mindfulness, presence, intention, meditation) I had never, before this course, been able to apply them in daily life or see how I could help my patients by applying these techniques in their treatment.  As my own practice continues to develop, I believe that this will benefit my patients. While I work in a very "concrete" field of medicine - surgery - the heightened awareness I have of everything from ACES (Adverse Childhood Expereiences) to IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy), and their role in healing, I feel can only help me to connect better with patients and help facilitate their healing.
