RL 82: Gina Biegel — Redefining Mindfulness for the Next Generation
In this episode, I am excited to have Gina Biegel on to talk about redefining mindfulness in the 21st Century and the idea of Positive Neuroplasticity.
Gina Biegel is a psychotherapist, researcher, speaker, and author in the San Francisco Bay Area who specializes in mindfulness-based work with adolescents. She is the founder of Stressed Teens, which has been offering mindfulness-based stress reduction for teens to adolescents, families, schools, professionals, and the community for over a decade. She created MBSR-T to help teens in a large HMO’s outpatient department of child and adolescent psychiatry whose physical and psychological symptoms were not responding satisfactorily to a multitude of other evidence-based practices. An expert and pioneer in bringing mindfulness-based approaches to youth, she is the author of multiple works on the subject, she provides worldwide multi-day trainings and intensive ten-week online trainings; and works with teens and families individually and in groups. Her work has been featured on CNN and Reuters, and in the New York Times.
Topics Covered
Gina kicks the episode off by talking about how she got interested in mindfulness and easy ways of making mindfulness accessible to all people, especially for those with time constraints, and how her it ties into her work. She also dives into the “Body Scan” practice and the two types of mindfulness practice: Formal and Informal. Defining mindfulness for those in the 21st century and Positive Neuroplasiticty, the benefits and pitfalls of introducing yoga and mindful practices to children/teenagers, and Why the needs for mindfulness for young people today is more relevant now than ever before given the political and social climate. She wraps the show up talking about her new book “Be Mindful and Stress Less: 50 ways to deal with your crazy life.”
