Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy combines the practice of mindfulness meditation with the tools of cognitive therapy for dealing with depression, anxiety and the prevention of depressive relapse. Mindfulness is a non-judgmental way of paying attention in the present moment that helps us work with strongly held negative beliefs about ourselves and the world. Cognitive behaviour therapy examines the content of negative thinking that often leads to depressive and anxious spirals. This program will help participants identify thoughts as thoughts (rather than facts) opening them to more constructive beliefs and leading to changes in mood and behaviour. Participants will engage in a variety of meditative practices and other exercises to assist in the prevention of depressive and anxiety relapse.
