MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy)
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a structured program that combines mindfulness practices—like meditation and awareness exercises—with principles of cognitive therapy. It helps individuals recognize and change patterns of negative thinking, especially those linked to depression and anxiety. By cultivating present-moment awareness and acceptance, MBCT encourages a non-judgmental attitude toward thoughts and feelings, reducing the likelihood of rumination and emotional distress. Designed to prevent relapse in depression, MBCT empowers people to respond more adaptively to stress and emotional challenges, promoting overall mental well-being.
