Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) uses mindfulness meditation and cognitive therapy to break the cycle of depression. MBCT is an innovative program designed to prevent relapse in people who have recovered from unipolar depression. Based on the research of Drs. Zindel Segal, John Teasdale, and Mark Williams, and documented in their book Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, this professional training combines the practice and clinical application of mindfulness meditation with the tools of cognitive therapy. Through role-playing, simulated classroom, and patient-practitioner encounters, we learn to apply mindfulness practices in teaching MBCT to clients. Throughout the training, the importance of the clinician’s own meditation practice and self-inquiry will be explored, especially around how to bring the self-knowledge gained through sustained meditative practice to bear on helping clients in emotional distress.

This course is the equivalent of the 5-Day MBCT Teacher Training. Click here to learn more about MBCT.
