Teasdale (John Teasdale)

John Teasdale is a psychologist known for his work on mindfulness-based approaches to mental health. He helped develop Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), a treatment combining mindfulness practices with traditional therapy principles. MBCT aims to help individuals recognize and manage negative thought patterns, reducing the risk of depression recurrence and improving emotional resilience. Teasdale’s work emphasizes cultivating awareness and acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can promote overall well-being without feeling overwhelmed. His approach integrates scientific research with practical techniques to support mental health and prevent relapse, particularly for those with repeated experiences of depression.
