Josh Gibson earned his MD from Columbia University in New York, where he received the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Award. Today, Josh Gibson, MD, treats clients in his private psychiatric practice in San Francisco, where he focuses on occupational therapy for professionals in the workplace.
One way that professionals are seeking to improve mental health in the workplace is through a practice called mindfulness, which studies have indicated may have a positive effect on the stress levels and sleep quality of employees. Other studies have shown that mindfulness may also allow workplace leaders to feel a greater sense of confidence, improving their ability to effectively communicate business visions to other staff members. Many mindfulness practices in the workplace focus on direct meditation, but professionals can also engage in other exercises to help increase mental mindfulness while on the job. Common techniques include avoiding the impulse to read texts or emails on a cell phone during breaks, taking time to appreciate the color and taste of a meal during lunch, and remembering to relax the muscles when tension is noticed.
