In this blog I just want you to know about a study at Stanford University. A description of the study is below. If you participate in the study you can receive eight sessions of a Mindfulness Meditation class or one that is based on Wellness and Fitness. I know the people there and it is likely to be a good experience in either program. The following is their description of the study:
As part of a study at Stanford University, we are offering 8 sessions of a stress reduction program (either Mindfulness Meditation Based or Wellness and Fitness Based) to people with social anxiety, FREE of charge. The studys goal is to better understand the mechanisms of how these stress reduction programs can improve the lives and wellbeing of individuals who suffer from social anxiety.
We are seeking individuals who primarily have problems with social anxiety and are easily able to travel to Stanford University for assessments before and after the program. Participants must be fluent in English, right handed, age 21-55. We also ask that study participants be willing to discontinue use of mood or anxiety medications for the duration of their participation in the study.
If you would like more information, please view our website http://waldron.stanford.edu/~caan/ and call (650-723-5977) or email us (caan@psych.stanford.edu), and mention that you are interested in the Stress Reduction Study.
