8-week Mindfulness Meditation MBCT course in Bath & Bristol

The Mindfulness Meditation Based Cognitive Therapy Course for the prevention of persistent unhappiness, depression, anxiety, stress and to promote a more enjoyable life. The basis of this 8-week course has been running for over 30 years in American hospitals for the treatment and prevention of stress, pain and anxiety. It has proven itself to be highly effective. A few years ago the course was further developed in the UK to prevent relapse into depression. Impressive results from studies have gained the course the approval of NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence). The course involves meditation practices and exercises which bring about greater awareness of our unhelpful automatic negative ways of thinking and reacting to life’s problems. Through enhanced awareness we begin to see the signs of potential crisis, upset and unhappiness much sooner than we normally would. Mindfulness meditation enables us to respond in a calmer, clear headed way that often leads to less of the above problems. The majority of people completing the course report lasting physical and psychological benefits including: An increased ability to relax and experience calm • Greater energy, enthusiasm and appreciation for life • Heightened self confidence and more acceptance for life as it is • An increase ability to cope more effectively with both short and long-term stressful situations The aim of this course is to learn new ways to handle challenging physical sensations, emotions, moods or social interactions.
