Mindfullness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) at Revitalise in Hove
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy at Revitalise in Brighton & Hove is psychological therapy which blends features of cognitive therapy with mindfulness techniques.
MBCT involves accepting thoughts and feelings without judgement rather than trying to push them out of consciousness, with a goal of correcting cognitive distortions.
MBCT’s main technique is based on an 8 week program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn called mindfulness-based stress reduction, which was adapted for use with major depressive disorder.
The aim of MBCT is not relaxation or happiness in themselves, but, rather, a freedom from the tendency to get drawn into automatic reactions to thoughts, feelings, and events. The aim of the program is to enhance awareness so clients are able to respond to things instead of react to them. MBCT is recommended for depression by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE).
