Dr. John Riolo, host of The Insider, interviews Dr. Parker Wilson about mindfulness in psychotherapy.

In his South Denver based practice, Dr. Wilson specializes in the treatment of psychological trauma, addiction and compulsion, grief, depression, and family and couple's issues.

Over the years, Dr. Wilson has worked with thousands of people who have been victimized by childhood abuse, become addicted to alcohol and substances, are battling depression and grief, are grappling with intimacy/sexual issues, or are just struggling to stay together as a person, a couple, or a family.

Over the last decade, Dr. Parker Wilson has studied with some of the greatest Buddhist meditation masters in the world and he has brought the wisdom of mindfulness to bear in his psychotherapy. Dr. Wilson's practice and deep understanding of Buddhist mindfulness serves as the bedrock that Mindful Healing Psychotherapy is built upon. Mindfulness is the primary foundation upon which a client begins to cultivate a profound awareness of his or her own mind (thoughts, feelings, memories, beliefs, perceptions, fantasies, memories, and judgments.) This increased awareness in the client' level of mental balance, clarity, peace, stability and happiness.  From here, the unpacking process of psychotherapy can truly begin.  Visit Dr. Wilson's website.
