The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course we run takes place over three half-day sessions and one full day session at fortnightly intervals.
The programme is designed to help you learn new ways of handling difficult physical sensations, feelings and moods.
The course we teach is an amalgamation of the MBSR course developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in the USA and the MBCT course, developed by Segal, Williams and Teasdale.
The core skill that you will learn is ‘mindfulness’; a way of paying attention, on purpose and non-judgementally, to what goes on in the present moment in your body, mind, and the world around you. Mindfulness can enable you to see things differently, undoing mental and physical knots and tensions. It can increase your sense of personal confidence, of having more options and more strength to face the different challenges in your life.
Most people completing MBSR programmes report that they gain lasting benefits, such as:
Home practice is an important part of the course, and each participant is required to undertake to do 40 to 60 minutes of this, six days per week, between each class.
