Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
MBSR was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Its benefits have been well documented in scientific literature, including improvements of mood, sleep quality, fatigue, pain, disordered eating, psychological distress, and overall quality of life. This evidence-based program consists of mindfulness meditation, discussion, and psychoeducation. Mindfulness meditation is an attentional training, and various forms of meditation such as yoga, body scan, mindful eating, sitting meditation, and walking mediation will be taught. The class is composed of 10-12 people and meets once a week for two and a half hours for eight weeks; plus, there is a half-day retreat on a weekend between week 6 and week 7.
