Meditation Interventions to Rewire the Brain

Meditation Interventions to Rewire the Brain – Jeff Tarrant

Meditation and mindfulness are now widely used in therapy, but not every practice suits every client. Psychologist Jeff Tarrant shows how to choose and adapt them so they work better for each person.

In Meditation Interventions to Rewire the Brain, Tarrant takes a practical, brain-based approach to meditation. Drawing on neuroscience and his work with brain-wave measurement, he explains how different styles of meditation affect the brain in different ways, and how clinicians can match those styles to the needs and goals of each client.

The book goes beyond traditional sitting meditation to include a wide range of mind-body strategies, such as yoga, meditation in motion and nature-based practices, along with tools like biofeedback, essential oils and virtual reality. Tarrant applies these methods to common conditions including ADHD, anxiety, depression and PTSD.

Designed for immediate use in practice, it includes more than 50 worksheets, handouts, scripts and exercises that therapists can bring straight into their sessions. Clear explanations make the science accessible even for readers without a neuroscience background.

A practical and up-to-date resource, Meditation Interventions to Rewire the Brain is ideal for psychologists, counsellors, therapists and other mental health professionals, as well as students and anyone interested in the science behind meditation.
