Breath-Body-Mind™ (BBM), is a programme of evidence-based, mind-body practices derived from yoga, qigong, meditation, martial arts, Open Focus Attention Training, and modern neuroscience developed by the holistic psychiatrists Richard Brown and Pat Gerbarg. Their methods have been used to relieve anxiety, depression, and PTSD in survivors of mass disasters, including the 2001 World Trade Center Attacks, Haiti earthquake, Gulf Horizon oil spill, genocide and slavery in Rwanda, South Sudan and Nigeria, Middle East refugees, Rohingya refugee children, and the COVID crisis. Veterans and active military personnel have also benefited from BBM.
READ MORE...Richard will teach participants simple techniques to rapidly reduce stress, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, depression, and negative mood states for their own self-care. Improving stress tolerance is essential during the COVID pandemic, when healthcare providers must stay alert and function well despite increased workloads, workplace risks, and stressors within their own families.
Pat will explain scientific theories about how specific breath practices may affect the way we think, feel, and behave. This includes Polyvagal Theory, interoception, Vagal-GABA Theory of Inhibition, and clinical studies. BBM techniques decrease defensive over-reactivity, activate social engagement and connectedness, and enhance other treatment modalities, including psychotherapy, behavioural therapy, and CBT. BBM can be taught live, online during and after the COVID pandemic.
