MIndfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy               

Research indicates that mIndfulness-based practices have been effective in alleviating depression, anxiety and a wide range of stress related symptoms.   How does mindfulness help?

Mindfulness helps:

see more clearly the patterns of the mind                            recognize  thoughts controlling our mood                                  end the escalation of negative or anxious thoughts                  live in the present moment                                                           get back in touch with feeling alive

Group for depression:

Drs. Robin Boudette and Pat Vroom will be offering a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) group.  MBCT is an innovative and highly researched program designed to help people who suffer chronic or repeated bouts of depression. It combines the clinical application of mindfulness meditation with the tools of cognitive therapy and is based on the model developed by Jon Kabat- Zinn. MBCT teaches us to recognize the connections between spiraling thought patterns and tendencies toward setting oppressively high standards for ourselves, overwork, chronic feelings of “not being good enough,” and losing touch with life’s enjoyment.

 This rigorous course mixes didactic, experiential, and small group learning, and includes meditation and yoga in an 8 week 2 hour class format and will include an all day retreat.   The group is appropriate for those with  depression, anxiety or anyone wishing to improve their mood management skills.

Facilitators :
Pat Vroom, Ph.D. and Robin Boudette, Ph.D. are both trained in mindfulness-based treatment.  Dr. Vroom completed a MBSR internship at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and MBCT training with Zindel Segal, Ph.D.  Dr.  Boudette has studied mindfulness in different traditions.  She completed a yoga teacher training in Integral Yoga and is currently training at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.
