Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in Melbourne
Are you seeking a psychologist in Melbourne trained in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT is one of the treatment approaches used by our Melbourne psychologists to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress and more. We have complied some information below so you can learn more about this approach.
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a type of therapy that combines elements of cognitive therapy with mindfulness meditation techniques. It was developed to help people who suffer from depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues that can be difficult to manage.
The goal of MBCT is to help people develop a greater awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. By learning to focus on the present moment, individuals can gain a better understanding of their mental and emotional states, and learn to respond in a more effective way.
During an MBCT session, individuals learn to observe their thoughts and feelings without judgment, and to accept them as they are, rather than trying to resist or control them. This allows individuals to develop a sense of self-awareness and self-compassion, which can help to reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression.
MBCT has been found to be an effective treatment for a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and stress. It has also been shown to be helpful in preventing relapses of depression in people who have experienced multiple episodes of the condition.
Overall, MBCT provides a powerful tool for individuals seeking to better understand and manage their mental and emotional states. By combining cognitive therapy techniques with mindfulness meditation, MBCT offers a holistic approach that can help individuals achieve greater well-being and happiness.
