Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that blends mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques.
What Is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)?
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, commonly called MBCT, is an evidence-based approach that combines the practical strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices.
Instead of trying to stop difficult thoughts, MBCT helps you notice them with curiosity and without judgment. As you become more aware of your thinking patterns, you can learn to respond thoughtfully rather than automatically reacting to stress or difficult emotions.
MBCT focuses on building awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience so you can navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.
How Does MBCT Work?
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy helps you recognize patterns of thinking that may contribute to emotional distress while teaching skills to stay grounded in the present moment.
During therapy, you may learn to:
- Notice thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them
- Develop mindfulness skills for everyday life
- Recognize patterns of negative thinking
- Respond to stress in healthier ways
- Increase emotional awareness
- Build practical coping strategies
Your therapist will personalize these skills to fit your goals and everyday experiences.
