Purposeful Living: A Decision-Based Mode Dr. Manuel Silverman, clinical psychologist |
In this workshop, we will explore selected aspects of decision-based psychological theory, specifically in relation to Buddhist principles and practices, based on mindfulness and the Dharma wheel. Using a Decision Therapy model as a guide, we will explore and implement a decision making process based on the principle of purpose in our lives. We will all gain in self-awareness and those elements in each of us that makes up our own unique personal style of decision making. Continued practice of the principles of this workshop will assist individuals in the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle and more active and productive decision making.
