Mindfulness based Psychotherapy
Mindfulness-based stress reduction is a therapeutic program that runs for eight weeks. This program helps in training individuals to participate in mindfulness meditation with yoga. Participants come together once a week to be coached and to practice mindful meditation and yoga.
MBSR is a Buddhist practice that aims to reduce how the body gets aroused in a situation. It also controls the emotional reaction of the person in general. These help the person to obtain a more profound sense of being calm.
MBSR also aims to address the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind bears thoughts, behaviours, attitudes, and feelings, which are believed to increase stress and threatens your health.
Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn developed Mindfulness-based stress reduction program in the 1970s, and in 1979, he founded the MBSR clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre.
He detailed MBSR in his book titled Full Catastrophe Living, which was his bestselling in 1990. He taught MBSR as a course, and it was featured in Moyer's Healing from Within in 1993, and to this day, it is still being taught and practised.
This program is designed to help people deal with stress and depression, anxiety, Chronic pain, and other stress-related conditions.
