Train to facilitate MBCT programs with guidance from Zindel Segal, one of its co-developers.
Current treatments for depression provide relief for many people, yet they face significant challenges maintaining the benefits of treatment.
This workshop will lead you through an innovative 5-day intensive training program designed to prevent depressive relapse among people with a history of depression.
Based on the research of Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and John Teasdale and documented in their book Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, this program combines the tools of cognitive therapy with the practice and clinical application of mindfulness meditation. The heart of MBCT lies in acquainting patients with the modes of mind that often characterize depression while simultaneously inviting them to develop a new relationship to these modes. Using your personal mindfulness practice to inform your psychotherapy is a crucial part of this process.
