The Practice of Mindfulness-Based Therapy

There are many benefits from mindfulness-based therapy for those in every kind of walk of life. Some of the most notable advantages include:

• Improved Emotional Regulation

Through the work, MBT also aims to help someone develop an increased level of emotional awareness, which can make it simpler to manage their strong feelings. The people who learn how to observe their emotions without reacting too instantly learn to react to difficult situations more deliberately.

• Enhanced Stress Management

One cannot run away from stress; however, MBT offers you ‘tools’ that help you handle stress effectively. Deep breathing and body scans, among them all drive the nervous system to relax and calm.

• Lowered Anxiety and Depression

Mindfulness has been proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by breaking up the ruminative processes that feed into anxiety and depression. When we stay in this moment, we take ourselves out of the mental chatter that accompanies anxiety and depressive episodes.

• Increased Self-Awareness

Consistent practice with MBT allows a person to develop self-awareness to be able to understand that kind of thought process and thought patterns and behaviors that they’re having. As a result of this increased awareness, people are better able to make decisions and adopt healthier ways of coping.

• Long-Term Mental Well-Being

MBT is not a quick-fix solution, being that it promotes long-lasting mental health. Eventually, regular mindfulness practice can rewire neural pathways to boost a person’s ability to focus, empathize, and be compassionate.

What to Expect in a Session

A typical Mindfulness-Based Therapy session involves several key components:

• Initial Assessment and Goal Setting: The first session most often begins with an assessment of the individual’s current mental state specifically from the point of view of the individual therapist and a discussion of specific goals of therapy. It allows the therapist to customize the approach to the client’s needs appropriately.
• Guided meditation: During the session, the individual progresses through different mindfulness exercises led by the therapist including both focused breathing and body scans to help develop present-moment awareness.
• Mindful Movement Practice: Sessions may also include very gentle movements such as stretching or seat yoga to help promote a mind-body connection. These practices help lighten tension and physical awareness.
• Discussion and Reflection: Each session ends with a reflection on what was practiced along with a discussion about any insights or challenges. It allows people to share their experiences and have feedback from the therapist.
