The Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life (MBCT-L) is a new course developed by the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. This course is particularly suited to the current climate we find ourselves in; with a focus on reducing stress and managing low mood, and also developing qualities and skills to support much-needed resilience, appreciation and happiness in the midst of the up’s and down of life.
Over the course of the programme you will learn how mindfulness can help us recognise when we become entangled in worry or unhelpful thought tangles and learn ways to interrupt this process, to support wise choices and balance. The course explores how to develop a mind that is a friend and ways to strengthen positive, nurturing qualities such as appreciation, kindness, and joy
By training ourselves to focus our attention MBCT- L can help us:
cope better with emotional challenges;
change our relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings;
experience a greater sense of appreciation and movement towards savouring what is good in our lives.
increase a sense of calm and wellbeing.
