Mindfulness Based CBT
Each week you will learn new mindfulness practices, have time to ask questions and share your progress with the group, and have worksheets and recorded guided meditations to help guide you in the days between class.
Examples of mindfulness exercises include eating meditation, body scan meditation, mindful breathing, mindful movement, walking meditation and more. We’ll also be using worksheets to track moods and thoughts and set up a system to prevent difficult moods from getting worse.
This course is designed to set you up for success so that after the 8 weeks you feel confident in your ability to keep up a daily mindfulness practice.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy was developed for treating depression and studies have shown it to be as effective as antidepressant medication in its ability to prevent future episodes of depression! It is now also commonly used for anxiety, really any form of emotional dysregulation, chronic pain and/or for dealing with unwanted moods. It’s also great for anyone who just wants to shift their relationship to themselves.
Participants will have to set aside about 20-60 minutes total a day, 5-6 days a week(can be spread out in 15 minute increments- doesn’t have to be a whole hour at once) to practice the skills taught in the class. You’ll have worksheets and guided meditations to guide your practice. The goal is that eventually these skills become second nature and are easily integrated into your life.
