Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy 8 week course

Mindfulness- based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a therapy developed for depression relapse prevention. It has been promoted to the general public in recent years. The course is about cultivating awareness and concentration in our daily life, enhancing our self-understanding, such as where our emotional reactions stem from, in order to take better care of ourselves. It can also cultivate our self-compassion which can alleviate stress from work, close relationships and chronic pain.
