The more that we can use mind-body interventions to improve the parasympathetic nervous system, bringing the heart rate down, bringing the respiration rate down- the better off we are in all of our systems- not just the heart and the lungs, but also digestion and our clarity of thought, how we think all of those things improve with these practices.
Ever thought about how your body and mind work together to shape your mental health? In this enlightening episode of 'Supporting Minds', Dr. Michelle Zechner chats with Dr. Ellen Anderson, a physical therapist, to unpack the power of mind-body interventions. They dive into how practices like meditation, body-based awareness therapy, and movement can make a real difference for those grappling with mental health challenges.
Imagine feeling more connected to your body and seeing improvements in your mood, thinking, and anxiety levels. That's what these interventions aim to achieve. But it's not all smooth sailing—there are specific considerations, especially when it comes to mindfulness practices for people with schizophrenia. Dr. Zechner and Dr. Anderson don't shy away from these complexities, offering a balanced view of the benefits and potential pitfalls.
They also share valuable resources for mental health providers looking to incorporate these techniques into their practice. If you're curious about how integrating mind-body approaches can enhance mental health treatment, this episode is a must-listen.
