MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY PROGRAMME 2023 – LUCCA
MINDFULNESS MBCT PROTOCOL
(Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy)
LUCCA, February-April 2023
9 weekly sessions (8 sessions of approximately 2 hours 15 minutes and one full-day session)
This Mindfulness meditation programme provides practical tools for working with the emotional distress that can arise during periods of significant stress.
The MBCT programme was born from the reworking of the protocol of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn (MBSR protocol for stress reduction based on Mindfulness) to prevent relapses in depression, for the treatment of which is considered an excellence. Over time it has been found effective also in anxiety disorders and in all those conditions of discomfort in which the mind tends to enter negative vicious circles.
The general goal is to become more aware of the cognitive content and emotions that can trigger a worsening of one's mental state and mood. Thanks to Mindfulness, one learns to change the attitude towards one's negative thoughts and to interrupt its vicious circle.
