Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is an approach to psychotherapy that uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methods combined with mindfulness meditative practices and similar psychological strategies. Methods inspired by CBT are used in MBCT, such as psychoeducation of the client about depression and the role that their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning play in its development. MBCT borrows practices from CBT while applying mindfulness techniques to therapy.

An example would be “decentering,” focusing on being aware of all incoming thoughts and feelings and accepting them, but not clinging to or reacting to them. This process aims to help a person disengage from self-criticism, rumination, and negative emotions that may arise from reacting to their negative thought patterns. MBCT prioritizes learning how to focus your attention and consciously focus on the here and now, experiencing, without judgment. MBCT also focuses on teaching individuals to recognize and be aware of their feelings and thoughts without seeking to “get rid” of them.

Mindfulness-based interventions can produce a 30-60% reduction in depressive and anxiety symptoms (Noordali et al., 2015). Overall, MBCT and Mindfulness are beneficial for all ages as they can help you reduce your anxiety, manage depression, PTSD, lower stress and cortisol levels.
