Connected
Enjoying each other and your time together.
At Peace
Free from the stress, anxiety, or worry that your family members currently struggle with.
Self-Confident
Happy, closer in your relationships, and able to do anything you want to in life!
My Story
I’m Laura Chackes, a psychologist and the owner of The Center for Mindfulness & CBT in St. Louis, Missouri. I have been teaching mindfulness to children, teens, adults, and families for over 6 years. I have also been practicing mindfulness myself and with my family since my children were very young. I have seen both personally and professionally the dramatic changes that occur in the lives of those who practice mindfulness regularly. When I practice regularly I am able to respond to my children (who know exactly how to push all of my buttons) calmly rather than with my knee-jerk reaction of yelling at them. When my husband and children practice regularly they are better able to focus in school and work, and better able to manage their strong emotions. The combination of us all practicing helps our whole family be more at peace and loving towards each other.
Research has consistently demonstrated that people who practice mindfulness regularly experience the following benefits:
-
Increased attention and decreased hyperactivity and impulsivity
-
Increased executive function (working memory, planning, and organization)
-
Fewer conduct and anger management problems
-
Increased emotional regulation and self calming
-
Increased social skills and social compliance
-
Decreased anxiety and depression
-
Increased sense of calmness, relaxation and quality of sleep
-
Increased self esteem
-
Improved relationships
Many people who have tried to start a mindfulness practice on their own are not getting the full benefits that is has to offer. If you have used it as a relaxation technique or a way to help you fall asleep, then you are actually missing many of the key components of mindfulness.
Most of the research proving the effectiveness of mindfulness in improving mental and physical health are conducted with people who have taken an 8-week mindfulness course. The guidance from a trained instructor, as well as the support and accountability of your peers, makes a huge difference in the outcomes of mindfulness practice.
