OICBT clinician Dr. Kiran Vagada, C.Psych joins us to discuss a number of aspects of mindfulness including the definition of mindfulness, the evidence around mindfulness as therapeutic intervention, common myths around mindfulness, the "dark side" of mindfulness, the neurobiology of mindfulness as well as selected tools and strategies to help develop and stick with a mindfulness practice.  We also briefly touch on theories of consciousness as it relates to the practice of mindfulness.  Dr. Kiran Vadaga, C.Psych, obtained his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Concordia University and completed his pre-doctoral internship at the McGill University health care centre. He provides psychodiagnostic assessment and treatment for adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), mood and anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. He also works with clients who have interpersonal difficulties. Kiran uses an integrative approach to therapy drawing from cognitive, behavioural, interpersonal, and mindfulness traditions.
