What Are Mindfulness Mental Health Therapies?
Mindfulness means paying attention on purpose and in the present moment. Its goal is to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, helping you respond thoughtfully instead of reacting automatically.

Reduce suffering
Improve self-awareness
Increase empathy
Mindfulness and Psychotherapy: Types of Mindfulness-Based Therapies
Mindfulness can be part of various therapy types, such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help you recognize and change negative thought patterns.
Other popular approaches include Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), which focuses on managing chronic stress and pain through meditation and body awareness, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which uses mindfulness to help you regulate emotions and improve relationships.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another mindfulness-informed approach that helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward your values. Your therapist will work with you to determine which mindfulness-based approach best fits your needs and goals.
Mindfulness therapies are effective for:
Stress
Pain
Anxiety
Personality disorders (with other treatments)
Depression (with other treatments)
