Course Description
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), combines training in mindfulness meditation practices with principles from cognitive therapy.
Overview
A Mindful Approach to Depression and Anxiety
Brown University's 8-Week MBCT is an experiential, evidence-based program designed to help participants break free from patterns that contribute to repeated and prolonged episodes of depression and anxiety. The heart of this work lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often characterize and contribute to mood disorders while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to them.
