In practice as a bodyworker and body-psychotherapist for 20 years, Dr. Cynthia Price worked extensively with individuals who were disconnected from their bodies due to stress, trauma, and pain. Inspired by Focusing, an experiential psychotherapy approach of present attention to the “felt sense,” Dr. Price developed Mindful Awareness in Body-Oriented Therapy (MABT) as a mindfulness-based approach for use in body-centered therapy practice. In this episode, Dr. Price discusses the primary components and core principals of MABT, and how interoceptive awareness can be helpful for individuals with chronic physical or mental health conditions. Cynthia Price, PhD, MA, LMT, is a research professor at the University of Washington School of Nursing in Seattle, Washington, and the director of the non-profit Center for Mindful Body Awareness. She developed Mindful Awareness in Body-Oriented Therapy (MABT), a body therapy approach designed to facilitate interoceptive awareness and related skills for self-care and emotion regulation. Dr. Price’s research is aimed at the study of MABT within community care, particularly for those in recovery from trauma, chemical dependency, chronic pain, or other life stressors. She has co-authored two scales to measure interoceptive awareness: the Scale of Body Connection (SBC) and the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA). Cynthia is committed to increasing access to integrative and complementary health care for underserved populations through her research, teaching, and service.   Sponsors:     Anatomy Trains: www.anatomytrains.com       CBD Clinic: www.cbdclinic.co      Elements Massage: www.elementsmassage.com   Advanced-Trainings: Advanced-Trainings.com     Anatomy Trains is a global leader in online anatomy education and also provides in-classroom certification programs for structural integration in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan, and China, as well as fresh-tissue cadaver dissection labs and weekend courses.
