Utah corrections clinician urges wider use of Mind Body Bridging after years of in-practice experience
Summary
Josh Dowdle, a licensed clinical social worker with the Utah Department of Corrections, described using Mind Body Bridging in group and individual settings for about 3½ years and recommended clinicians and the public explore the technique.
Josh Dowdle, a licensed clinical social worker with the Utah Department of Corrections, told attendees at the meeting that he has used Mind Body Bridging in correctional settings for about three and a half years and urged others to learn the technique.
Dowdle said Mind Body Bridging has particular value in group settings, where he said participants "are able to rest that identity system and, are able to start to connect with each other" and "feed off of other people and how other people are responding to mind body bridging." He added that he also uses the method with individuals.
"I've been using Mind Body Bridging, for about 3 and a half years," Dowdle said. "I really like using mind body bridging in a group setting." He recommended that people interested in the approach "really explore it out" by meeting with experienced clinicians or consulting materials by Stanley Block.
Dowdle said he was attending the meeting in part because he wanted to meet Stanley Block, a developer and promoter of Mind Body Bridging. He described the method as transformative for his clients and said, "I tell all of my clients I wish I could show mind body bridging to everyone in the world."
The remarks were framed as a practitioner endorsement and personal recommendation; no formal action, vote, or policy change was recorded during the segment.
