How do I Prepare for this? 

We ask that you use The Advanced Training Manual as a guide for the training. Note that we have recently updated the manual to include tips for leading an online group, so be sure to reference this updated version for the training. Read and become familiar with at least the “Practicum Materials” section of this manual before the training, since you will be asked to co-lead one of the online Small Group Sessions.

We strongly suggest that you are prepared to teach any of the core topics - reviewing the “Planning Your ATP Group” section will be helpful for this. On the first day, during a small group led by our faculty, you will choose your topic. During that first day, there will also be coaching sessions where you will receive faculty support in preparing the content for the group that you have chosen. Because there may be others who want the same topic, you may have to negotiate which topic you are assigned and be willing to teach a 2nd or 3rd preference. Understanding each of the topics well will contribute to your overall learning experience and is necessary to ultimately be able to facilitate an 8-week series.

What to expect

This evidence-based, transformational training gives you the science and tools you need to make mind-body medicine an integral, foundational part of your practice and your life. It is the first step in becoming certified by one of the world’s premier programs in comprehensive self-care and group support. Participants will attend lectures on the latest research in mind-body medicine and experience CMBM’s pioneering Mind-Body Skills Groups. In these groups, they will practice a variety of techniques to reduce stress and enhance self-awareness, to mobilize their imagination and intuition, and to develop their capacity for self-care. They will, as well, share what they have learned with and learn from one another.

Our training will focus on the practical techniques for self-care and mutual support. We teach participants to focus their skills in supportive small groups, as well as with individuals and families and in classroom settings. Learn the science and skills of meditation, guided imagery, biofeedback, and self-expression in words, drawings, and movement.
