Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Participants in an MBCT program are guided through mindfulness practices in a small group format. Participants are offered resources to help guide their practice and reflect on their experiences from week to week.

“Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an 8 week program designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness.

“The heart of this work lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often characterize mood disorders while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to them. MBCT was developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and John Teasdale, based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program”. Reference

Numerous research studies have shown MBCT to be an effective treatment for depression.
