First Steps
Step 1
Call us to find out about an initial consultation appointment
617.643.6090
Step 2
We will invite you in for a one-hour initial consultation (billable to insurance) with an internal medicine specialist who has expertise in Mind Body Medicine. During this visit, you and the doctor will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and the impact of stress on your health.
At the end of your initial consultation, you can stop at the front desk to schedule your treatment start date.
Step 3
Before your program begins, you will come in for a one-hour goal setting and skill-building session with your program provider.
Next, you will attend eight consecutive, two-hour, weekly sessions (class size 20-24 participants).
About halfway through the program, you are invited to attend a 30-minute individual medical visit with your program provider.
Two to four weeks after the program, you will have a 30-minute discharge visit, which is designed to help you retain the skills you have learned.
The First Class (option to include a significant other) reviews the science of stress and the relaxation response. You will learn about the many behaviors, attitudes and thoughts that lead to the stress response as well as those that help elicit the relaxation response.
All remaining classes start with a focus on learning and experiencing a meditation method. The second hour will focus on building skill in a variety of cognitive strategies that help create adaptive responses to stress.
Each class will also provide motivational and behavioral strategies that support successful behavior change.
