Explore the therapeutic benefits of MBCT while looking at its clinical applications.
This is the first module of our Core MBCT Facilitation Certificate Program.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines the practice of mindfulness meditation with the tools of cognitive therapy. This workshop adapts this treatment to health-care providers for personal use. Participants will explore the modes of mind that often characterize changes in mood while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to these modes. In addition, participants will be introduced to the theoretical assumptions underlying the model as well as the application of MBCT in clinical settings.
Participants Will Learn:
- How mindfulness based interventions are applicable to dealing with negative moods, stress and anxiety
- How to use mindfulness-based cognitive strategies in your personal and professional life to increase resilience
- The use of MBCT practices in addressing depression and anxiety at an introductory level
Who Should Attend
Healthcare providers who are interested in learning MBCT for personal and professional resilience will benefit from this workshop. Those who wish to learn about the clinical applications of this modality will also find it of assistance.
