Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or just a bit low? Is life hard work at the moment?
8-week courses in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) are clinically proven to help reduce stress and anxiety, and to increase your wellbeing and appreciation of life.
Particularly with the current employment and economic situation, anxiety is rife. I teach eight-week courses in MBCT and MBSR in Brighton, in a group setting and one-to-one.
Stress Management
All of us experience stress at some time in our lives, and many people feel that life gets more and more stressful and out of control. For some people, it can become overwhelming and they then worry that they can't cope with the challenges life gives us all.
Anxiety Management – Recognising the Signs of Anxiety
Signs of being anxious include having difficulty sleeping, worrying endlessly about the future or the past, feeling shaky and panicky, having heart palpitations or feelings of weakness in your body.
Signs of Depression
Signs of depression or low mood include insomnia, feeling low much of the time, feelings of hopelessness about the present or future, feelings of not wanting to see people or that it's all just not worth it.
8-week mindfulness courses, and continuing practice, have been shown again and again to help many people manage or reduce such common difficulties as stress, anxiety and low mood.
There has been a sizeable body of research carried out in this area over the last 30 years which indicates that an 8-week mindfulness course and regular practice can help us learn to manage stress by responding wisely rather than reacting blindly. This means that with mindfulness practice we can manage or reduce our stress, anxiety or low mood better and increase our general sense of wellbeing.
