The Mind-Body Connection

The benefits of physical activity to both physical and emotional health are well-established. Movement integrated with meditative practices are particularly therapeutic and have been shown to reduce stress, reduce the pain associated with many chronic illnesses, and protect against cognitive decline and even dementia.

In addition to more traditional psychotherapies, Dr. Freitag is a strong proponent of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction practices, and offers group classes in the following:

• Body awareness incorporating movements of t’ai chi, qi gong and yoga practices
• Healing from the Right Side of the Brain: Coming Home to Yourself. This class will help you discover untapped resources within through creative and expressive modalities.

For more information on how these mindfulness-based therapies can be of specific help to you, and/or which practice would be most beneficial, contact Dr. Freitag.
