MINDFULNESS BASED THERAPY

Mindfulness is bringing awareness to oneself and the moment (Davis, & Hayes, 2011). There are different types of Mindfulness-Based Therapy; Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction involves exercises such as yoga and meditation where clients focus on their body and breathing. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy is like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) because it focuses on thoughts but instead of changing the thoughts, it is accepted, similar to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as ACT is also about acknowledging thoughts and emotions and finding peace with it (Pratikta, 2020). Mindfulness, CBT, and ACT are all modalities’ therapists at Vaughan Counselling and Psychotherapy Inc. are familiar with.
