Greetings from James S. Gordon, MD, Founder & Director

I'm very pleased to announce the release by Penguin Press of my new book, Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven Stage Journey Out of Depression --the distillation of 40 years of work with my patients and in the Center's programs around the world. Unstuck presents these techniques in a way that's eminently practical and easy for you to use. Though Unstuck focuses on depression, it is for any and all of us who may sometimes feel confused, anxious or "blue". I hope it is a happy companion on all your healing journeys.

We invite you to our next introductory professional training in mind-body medicine, coming up in October. In this newsletter, we include an audio / visual experience of ‘Soft Belly’ Meditation for you to try. This is a simple mind-body skill we teach at all our trainings. Our gift to you— enjoy!

Don't miss this outstanding program--the most comprehensive mind-body professional training in the U.S. This is the Center's core program, combining science-based lectures with our unique, small-group model for learning and teaching mind-body skills. The program offers a remarkable experience for health professionals, both personally and professionally.
Transform your practice!
