Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is specifically designed for individuals facing frequent bouts of depression, anxiety or chronic sadness. The therapy is devised by combining the following approaches to healing:
An experienced mindfulness therapist is like a mentor who would help you to develop more useful and constructive thinking patterns. You would gradually learn to have a non-judgmental attitude towards life. The therapy is also about developing the ability to focus on the present moment and just “be”. We often harness the power of meditation as a part of Mindfulness therapy.
Research indicates that clinically depressed individuals benefit from learning and practicing mindfulness-based skills. The therapy is useful in minimizing the chances of relapse of depression.
In some cases, clients may experience relapse into the state of depression or sadness after recovery. Under such situations, MBCT can help change one’s relationship with the feeling of sadness or other similar negative emotions. Practicing mindfulness-based meditation in combination with other exercises can help tackle this situation.
Mindfulness activities are helpful in establishing a balance between one’s neural networks by increasing awareness at metacognitive level.
This facilitates one to fully experience thoughts and emotions that cross mind (based on imagination or reality).
Mindfulness is not targeted to alter one’s dysfunctional thoughts. Instead, it is aimed at helping individuals experience them as being real yet but separate from oneself.
At Heal with Nav- we are trained therapists who can help you in seeing and accepting life as it is.
