Mindfulness based stress reduction
About the programme
This programme was originally developed for people suffering from stress related conditions and chronic pain by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn over 25 years ago. The course we teach is an amalgamation of that course and the MBCT course, developed by Segal, Williams and Teasdale in UK.
The mindfulness based stress reduction programme consists of 8 weekly two-hour sessions in groups of 8 to 12 people.
