Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy is a method of psychotherapy which blends features of cognitive with mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness is a mental state characterized by concentrated awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, actions, or motivations.  MBCT involves accepting thoughts and feelings without judgement rather than trying to push them out of consciousness, with a goal of correcting cognitive distortions.  The aim of MBCT is the freedom from the tendency to get drawn into automatic reactions to thoughts, feelings, and events.  MBCT can help clients break habit patterns that have be plaguing them for  years.  MBCT prioritizes learning how to pay attention or concentrate with purpose, in each moment and most importantly, without judgment.  Through mindfulness, clients can recognize their truth in the moment.  They can become aware of emotional and physical sensations that they were not previously aware of.  With this new awareness, clients can gain a better understanding of themselves and the patterns that can be shifted.  Mindfulness therapy helps clients find more calm.  It plays a useful therapeutic role for many mental and physical conditions, such as stress and chronic pain.  MBCT can help for the management of anxiety and panic, depression, obsessive thinking, strong emotional reactivity such as rage and anger, and can help with overcoming addiction and relationship conflict.
