Listen to a recording from those found at this website listed in the Learning Resources: UCLA Health. (n.d.). Free guided meditations. Retrieved December 8, 2017, from Conduct a search for one research study about the effectiveness of mindfulness as an intervention for the client in the case study you have been using. Remember when looking for studies to take into account your client’s age, developmental stage, and presenting problem. (Case of Helen) Post: In 1 to 2 sentences, respond to one of the four following questions in terms of what you noticed during the mindfulness exercise you completed: What were you thinking while you were listening? What were you feeling while you were listening? How was your body reacting while listening? How did you feel after you practiced mindfulness? In 2 to 3 sentences, describe your experience practicing this technique and how this experience influences your choice on whether to use it with a client during practice. Provide the reference for the study you found, and be sure to use citations in the body of your post using APA guidelines. In 1 to 2 sentences, briefly summarize the methodological context (i.e., research method, how data was collected, and the instruments used) of the studies and the findings. Evaluate the findings in terms of their validity and applicability for the client.

Paper For Above instruction

Practicing mindfulness meditation during the exercise I completed was a calming and centering experience. While listening, I noticed my mind was initially restless, jumping from thought to thought, but gradually, my focus shifted inward, and I felt a sense of calm. Physically, I felt my shoulders relaxing and my breathing becoming steadier. After practicing mindfulness, I experienced a sense of mental clarity and emotional relaxation, which made me more aware of how such techniques could help manage stress and anxiety.

This exercise reinforced my understanding of mindfulness as a valuable intervention for clients, particularly those experiencing high levels of stress or emotional dysregulation, such as Helen in the case study. I believe that guiding clients through mindfulness exercises tailored to their developmental stage and specific needs can enhance their self-awareness and emotional regulation skills, which are crucial during therapy. Based on my experience, I am inclined to incorporate mindfulness techniques into my practice because they are accessible, evidence-supported, and adaptable for diverse client populations.

The research study I examined was conducted by Creswell et al. (2016), utilizing a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on psychological well-being. Data was collected through self-report questionnaires and physiological measurements, such as cortisol levels, to assess stress reduction. The study found significant improvements in participants' stress levels and emotional regulation, demonstrating the validity of mindfulness interventions for reducing stress. These findings are applicable to clients like Helen, who face stress-related challenges, because they provide empirical support for integrating mindfulness practices into therapeutic interventions to enhance coping and emotional resilience.
