FINDING A THERAPIST IN YOUR AREA
3 - Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy

 
Another model of therapy that I use, and you might find interesting, is Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. This type of therapy combines cognitive therapy with the notion of mindfulness, which is an approach which guides people towards the freedom that arises when we are able to truly live in the present moment.

We can do this by cultivating full awareness of what is occurring in the present moment, paying attention to what arises using all our senses, instead of over-reliance on our thoughts, (which are often negative and destructive) to guide our experience of the world. You can find out more about this approach from the Mindfulness Website.

This model is very useful if you find that you are feeling very stressed out all the time, feel anxious or panicky or have problems with your physical health that you are finding hard to deal with it. It is also useful if you have experienced two or more episodes of depression. Please look at the Cognitive Therapy Page on this website for more information if you would like to discuss this sort of psychotherapy.
