What is mindfulness?
What is Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)?
Initially developed for people with long term health conditions to help reduce their stress, MBCT has been used sucessfully with people experiencing depression and a range of emotionally stressful situations.
How does MBCT work?
It does not work by changing what we think, but by teaching people how to relate differently to their negative thoughts and feelings.
How can mindfulness improve our life?
Mindfulness encourages us to develop our willingness to experience life, and our capacity to engage with things which are difficult. It helps give us the courage to allow distressing moods, emotions, thoughts and sensations to come and go, without using up our energy to battle against them. We then find that they can be seen from a different perspective, one which allows us to step back and bring to these moments a sense of understanding and compassion.
