What is Bridging?
Have you ever felt you were living in a paralyzed state of mind? Have you ever had the enjoyment of life spoiled by a lack of awareness? Bridging is an amazing breakthrough that can empower us in achieving a healthier and happier way of life. Bridging is a practice . . . a learned skill that can move us from a cluttered, disconnected mind and body, to a mind and body synchronized to meet the challenges of daily living.

After 40 years of practice as a psychiatrist, Stanley Block, MD, uncovered the existence of the human Identity System and explored how this Identity System disrupts our natural mind-body connection and restricts awareness and healing. Bridging provides the tools that will provide immediate, powerful, progressive, permanent, and positive life transformation. It is instantaneous!

How Does Bridging Help?
The human Identity System holds enormous power over all of us and limits our joy and causes suffering. Learning about our Identity System will alter your life as you allow your own body’s inner wisdom to heal you.

  1. The Identity System works by capturing thoughts and then perpetuating those thoughts into a physical stress response (i.e., anxiety, depression, pain, etc.).
  2. The process of Mind-Body Mapping provides therapists and clients new tools to face life’s challenges,  (i.e., anxiety, pain, relationship problems, chronic illness, work stress, depression, substance abuse, etc.) 
  3.  Bridging practices allow the mind and body to naturally harmonize and sync together to problem solve and melt the suffering and misery. 

This approach to therapy is now being used in institutions around Utah including the Huntsman Cancer Institute, Utah Department of Human Services and Salt Lake City Veterans Administration Hospital. 

About The Certification Training?
The  Mind-Body Bridging™  Certification Course teaches all the skills articulated in the book Come to your Senses: Demystifying the Mind-Body Connection, 2nd Edition by Dr. Block, but at a deeper clinical level. Mind-Body Bridgingis a clinical tool that requires a unique set of skills, but once mastered has the power to provide immediate improvements in the lives both client and therapist.
