    Description

    Monterey County CAMFT hopes you will join Kjersti Nelson, LMFT, a distance runner and yoga instructor, as she shows us how to incorporate movement and other mind/body techniques in our work. Kjersti is the developer of Running Based Stress ReductionTM(RBSR), an approach that facilitates change in the mind and body that promotes both physical and mental wellness. 

    This workshop will include information about historical and current research on how running and other physical activity improves treatment outcomes. Kjersti Nelson will describe, demonstrate and lead experiential activities in specific strategies and interventions—and how to implement these in our work. She will highlight how including running, walking, yoga, or other physical activities in a treatment plan aligns with a number of different theoretical lenses including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Eco-Therapy, and Polyvagal theory. This is an introductory workshop for all therapists - athletes or not!


    Measurable Learning Objectives

    Therapists will be able to: 

    ● Explain the theoretical basis and research that supports movement as a treatment intervention; 

    ● Describe how including running, walking, yoga, and other physical activity aligns with their own theoretical orientation; 

    ● Name and know how to implement 2-3 essential components of Running Based Stress ReductionTM
