Gaddum are running a free 8-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) course for Manchester residents.
MBCT combines elements of mindfulness practice and cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals develop greater awareness and acceptance of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. MBCT is particularly good at preventing relapse of episodes of low mood/depression, for those of us who are currently well or have received prior therapy. MBCT is more recently recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for people with mild-moderate and recurrent depression, and can also be very helpful for people who want to manage stress more effectively.
The course will be run by an experienced therapist and qualified Mindfulness teacher and there will be about 10-15 participants. This may be daunting for some, but you will not be required to share your history with other participants, as the course focuses upon developing skills and reflection upon mindfulness practices.
To learn more and sign up, visit the Gaddum Eventbrite, email therapy@gaddum.org.uk, or call 0161 834 6069.
