Facilitated by CPS psychologists: Andrew Colitz, Ph.D. and Michael Perez Sosa, Ph.D. (Certified teacher of CBRT)
The first four weeks focus on mindfulness-based personal healing to help break the cycle of stress and trauma while the last four weeks focus on compassion-based relational healing to help build resilience, prevent burnout, and increase interpersonal capacities such as reducing implicit bias and improving empathy for others.
About Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT): an 8-week research-backed intervention shown to reduce symptoms of chronic stress, trauma, burnout, anxiety, and depression while also improving subjective well-being, interpersoal efficacy, emotion regulation, and self-compassion. CBRT utilizes methods such as mindfulness and compassion meditation practices, imagery, breath work, and postures along with a multidisciplinary perspective informed by research in neuroscience, positive psychology, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and contemplative psychotherapy to help participants stop surviving and start thriving.
