Mindfulness-based therapy incorporates awareness of thoughts, emotions, feelings, surroundings, and situations. It involves conversations with the therapist to help you develop greater awareness of your thoughts and the world around you. This increased awareness helps you avoid destructive or automatic responses or habits. The most common mindfulness-based interventions include Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Mindfulness-based therapies have been found to be effective in reducing anxiety and depression severity in a broad range of treatment-seeking individuals.
