Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, MBCT, is a modified form of cognitive therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices that include present moment awareness, meditation, and breathing exercises. This therapy was formulated to address depression. Using these tools, I teach my client to be in the here and now as well as break away from negative thought patterns that can cause a decline into a mood-disordered state; this therapy can help a person fight off a difficult frame of mind before it takes hold.
What does MBCT help treat?
Depression and anxiety
Food and eating issues
Low mood and negative thoughts
MBCT helps people separate themselves from their thoughts and moods, and teaches them how to recognize their sense of being, grounded to the present.
