NICABM, which offers online professional development in psychology and social work, has its new schedule out. Of particular interest is Ron Siegel's "Advanced Mindfulness and Psychotherapy". I took the first part of this one; it was excellent, really excellent. Not a whole lot of work: meditation exercises, weekly readings, two phone conferences, and bi-weekly postings, support one or two online lectures each week (which you can listen to at any time). He also provides guided meditations online, prerecorded.
I strongly recommend looking into it.
Ron is a member of the Harvard Medical School faculty. He is also the author of an excellent book on back problems, and did quite a lot of work looking into how unnecessary much back surgery is. Very convincing. The muscles of the back are particularly vulnerable to the feedback loop of stress. He provides context and mindfulness techniques that should help your hurtin'.
