Mindfulness Counseling in Tucson (East), AZ—Mindfulness Counselors and Therapists
Mindfulness practice is a growing trend in behavioral therapy. Studies show that mindfulness practice in therapy has significant benefits to both the client and the therapist.

What Is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness refers to the non-judgmental practice of giving full attention to your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations in the present moment. It is a process that involves generating a pause and an awareness so that you can identify and accept your thoughts, feelings and emotions without reacting or losing control.
In other words, mindfulness is being present in the here and now, experiencing all the senses in the present moment. It does not involve thinking about past experiences, or thinking ahead into the future, but appreciating the now.
Why Is Self-Compassion Important in Mindfulness Practice?
Self-compassion is a critical part of mindfulness. It fosters emotional resilience. It helps you to respond to your difficult or complicated thoughts, feelings and senses with kindness, consideration and understanding.
