What is Mindfulness-Based Therapy?
Mindfulness-based therapy integrates meditation practice and present-moment awareness into the therapeutic process. You learn to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement, which reduces stress, rumination, and emotional reactivity. The method has documented effectiveness for recurrent depression, anxiety, stress, and chronic pain and exists in several forms, including MBSR and MBCT.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
What is the difference between mindfulness and meditation?
Meditation is the practice itself, while mindfulness is the state of present-moment awareness you train. In therapy, mindfulness exercises are used systematically to treat specific psychological difficulties — it is more than just relaxation.
Can mindfulness-based therapy stand alone?
Mindfulness-based therapy can stand alone but is often combined with other approaches such as CBT (as MBCT) or ACT. Your psychologist will assess what best fits your situation.
Do you need meditation experience to start?
No, no prior experience is necessary. The psychologist guides you gradually through the exercises. You learn techniques you can practise at home to strengthen your capacity for present-moment awareness.
