Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, is meant for those who suffer recurring episodes of depression or chronic unhappiness. It takes the ideas of cognitive therapy and blends in meditative practices and attitudes that focus on being present in your body and with your emotions.

Learning mindfulness-based skills through MBCT can reduce the risk of relapse. Evidence from two clinical trials states that the chance of relapse reduced by 50% for those who experience repeating bouts of depression.

What does MBCT help treat?:

• • • Depression and anxiety
    • Food and eating issues
    • Low mood and negative thoughts
    • Body sensations such as weariness and sluggishness
    • Psychosis

MBCT will help you understand your depression and how it affects you. Separate yourself from your thoughts and moods and learn how to recognize your sense of self and prevent yourself from falling down another depressive episode.
