Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a new and forward thinking approach to the treatment of mood disorders and psychological problems. It integrates evidence based techniques of Cognitive Therapy with elements of insight meditation, mindfulness based stress reduction, and conscious cultivation of awareness and acceptance.

In the MBCT program, participants meet together as a group for weekly sessions. The main “work” of the program is done at home between classes, using CDs with guided meditations that support participants’ developing practice outside of class. In each group, you have an opportunity to talk about your experiences with the home practices, the obstacles that inevitably arise, and how to deal with them skillfully. Each group is organized around a theme that is explored through both group inquiry and mindfulness practice.

MBCT is meant to enhance not compete with whatever type of treatment you may be receiving. Go to www.mbct.com for additional information.
