Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Getting Unstuck from Your Thoughts
Do you ever feel trapped in a loop of negative thoughts or chronic unhappiness? It can feel like your mind is running the show, and you're just along for the ride.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a powerful approach that helps you break this cycle. It combines practical cognitive therapy tools with mindfulness techniques to change your relationship with your thoughts.
How Mindfulness Helps
The goal of mindfulness isn't to stop your thoughts, but to learn how to observe them without being controlled by them.
It teaches you to separate yourself from your thoughts and moods, helping you recognize that your anxious or depressive thoughts are just thoughts—not facts, and not you. This simple shift can be revolutionary.
This approach is incredibly effective for people who have experienced repeated bouts of depression. Research shows it can reduce the rate of depressive relapse by 50%.
What This Approach Can Help With
I use mindfulness-based tools to help you:
Manage recurring depression and anxiety
Interrupt low moods and negative thought spirals
Cope with difficult body sensations, like weariness or sluggishness
Ground yourself when you feel overwhelmed
You Can Find Your Center Again
This therapy gives you the practical tools to combat depressive or anxious symptoms the moment they arise. You'll learn to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.
