This year, I am contracted with San Mateo Behavioral Health and Recovery Services Department to offer Continue Education trainings on Hoarding for mental health providers. Feeling very grateful for the opportunity to be of service to an important cause: training and empowering more mental health professionals to provide treatment for hoarding.

We need more therapists who can serve this population not just because Hoarding affects 2.5% of the adult population but because these individuals are creative, sensitive, and beautiful human beings who deserve to be understood accurately and supported compassionately.

【來自石世明老師的溫暖推薦】

多年來陪伴大家在正念旅程上前行,世明老師 石世明臨床心理師_正念復原力一直在思考:「正念八週課程結業後,夥伴們最需要什麼?」

在國內外廣泛探索後,他找到了心中最理想的接續課程—由周嘉瑛老師帶領的「慈悲焦點訓練」。

以下是老師的親自分享,誠摯邀請大家一起打開慈悲之門,探索生命更深的風光。



各位夥伴,

很高興今年由周嘉瑛老師 Dr. Chia-Ying Chou所帶領的慈悲課程,即將開始。

幾年前,大約有500位夥伴從我這邊完成MBCT八週課程後,我就開始思考:
「什麼樣的課程,會是8週成員結業後,最需要接續的?」

在這段期間,我在國內外逛(shopping)了許多課程。
一直到慈悲焦點療法(Compassion Focused Therapy,最初是為個別心理治療發展),在近年整合出適合大眾的「慈心訓練」團體課之後,我心裡的答案終於出現了——就是這門課!

背後考量有很多,這門課程能很好地延伸正念訓練,包括:

🔹 處理深度情緒
MBCT後半段有練習與「困難共處」,但只是開始。
若遇焦慮、創傷等深層情緒,慈悲心的訓練與準備,能帶來更完整的支持。

🔹 接納不完美的自己
8週課程已為這個主題打下基礎,但尚未深入探討。
而許多人的「生命卡關」,正是出在這裡。

🔹 提升人際關係的品質
多數的受苦來自於人際互動。
正念覺察力為改善人際奠定了基礎,但8週並未直接進入這個主題。

此外,慈悲焦點有一個我認為非常重要、過去心理介入領域常忽略的重點:
心理教育——了解自己「為什麼會這樣」。

例如:

為什麼我會那麼自責,以致失去信心?

為什麼我總覺得比不上別人,常常自我挫敗?

事實上,這些都不是個人的錯!

「深入了解我為什麼會這樣,同時明白:這並不是我的錯!」
這,才能真正打開自我慈悲的泉源。

我持續上了嘉瑛老師的課後,感受到她不只是理解,
更是深入消化、活靈活現地把自我悲憫的精神帶出來!

她開設的幾場近百人課程,都是叫好又叫座。

很高興嘉瑛老師能在樸石平台,傳承Paul Gilbert發展的慈悲焦點訓練。也誠摯邀請尚未接觸過的正念夥伴,先來這個介紹講座聽一聽:
5/17(六)9:00-12:00 慈悲焦點治療入門指南

一起打開慈悲泉源,探索未見的生命風光。
