Ep 3-Utilising Mindfulness and Learning to Accept Dementia

We meet Bryn Jones: mindfulness-based psychotherapist, drama & movement therapist, theatre director, former Buddhist monk and son of a mum with Alzheimer’s. Bryn explores how mindfulness can help us learn to accept the ever-fluctuating effects of dementia and thereby alleviate our suffering. Drama and movement therapy uses story, movement, and music to support dementia experiencers, their friends and family. It utilises the right hemispheres of our brain, so rather than focusing on the rational we are able to celebrate the intuitive, creative and imaginative parts of ourselves, which arguably, is what dementia does too.
