Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of two mindfulness interventions for stress, anxiety and burnout in mental health professionals. Participants will receive the treatments in reverse order: a brief intervention based on body-centered exercises and another brief intervention based on sitting meditation. It is hypothesized that both interventions will decrease stress and anxiety levels and professional burnout, with mindfulness body-centered exercises being at least as effective as mindfulness meditations.
