Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, is designed for people who suffer repeated bouts of depression or for those that experience chronic unhappiness or dissatisfaction.
MBCT combines the concepts of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes, based on the cultivation of mindfulness.
Recent research has also shown that people who have been clinically depressed three or more times in their life find that learning mindfulness-based skills helps to considerably reduce their chances of depression reoccurrence.
If you can relate to any of the above issues, mindfulness-based therapy may be right for you. MBCT helps people separate themselves from their thoughts and moods and teaches them how to recognize their sense of being and aims to give participants the necessary tools to combat depressive symptoms as they arise. MBCT not only helps to develop individual self-awareness, but it also provides specific tools and grounding techniques for managing low mood or anxious thinking.
MBCT can help people who suffer from:
- Depression and anxiety
- Food and eating issues
- Low mood and negative thoughts
- Low mood and negative thoughts
- Perpetual dissatisfaction
Evidence indicates that Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy may reduce the rate of depressive relapse by 50%.
