What is Mindfulness-Based Therapy? 

Mindfulness-Based Therapies are a group of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that integrate mindfulness practices with traditional psychological techniques to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, and stress. It focuses on cultivating present-moment awareness, self-acceptance, and non-judgmental observation of thoughts and emotions.

Components of Mindfulness-Based Therapy:

Present-Moment Awareness – Encourages individuals to focus on the here and now rather than ruminating on the past or worrying about the future.

Non-Judgmental Acceptance – Helps clients observe their thoughts and emotions without labeling them as “good” or “bad.” This can be cultivated through non-attachment practices while remaining present and mindful of the emotions that arise and pass. 

Emotional Regulation – Supports the development of healthier ways to respond to stress and emotional discomfort.

Cognitive Defusion – Teaches individuals to detach from negative thought patterns rather than being consumed by them.

Compassion for Self and Others – Promotes self-compassion and reduces self-criticism.
