Study Notes
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- Mindfulness involves being fully present and aware of the moment without trying to change it.
- There are two modes of the mind: "doing mode" and "being mode," and mindfulness helps in switching between them.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) aims to help individuals recognize and change their "doing state of mind" through various techniques and exercises.
- MBCT techniques include psychoeducation, mindfulness as a core skill, and exercises such as the Raisin Exercise and 3-Minute Breathing Space.
- Through experiential learning, MBCT helps individuals develop skills like concentration, awareness, decentering, and letting go.
- Other MBCT exercises focus on reconnecting with emotions, attention to pleasant experiences, and dealing skillfully with day-to-day life.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a third-wave therapy that aims to create a meaningful life while accepting inevitable pain.
- ACT acronym stands for: Accept thoughts and feelings, Choose valued direction, and Take action.
- Core principles of ACT include contact with the present moment, acceptance, defusion, self-as-context, and values.
- Values exercise in ACT involves visualizing one's 80th birthday party to identify life's deepest desires and motivations.
- Committed action in ACT emphasizes values-guided, effective, and mindful behavior.
- Psychological flexibility, a key aspect of ACT, involves being fully aware and open to experiences while taking action guided by values.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for Depression
- MBCT is effective in reducing symptoms associated with various diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders
- It was developed for the prevention of depressive relapse and is effective for a range of diagnoses including bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexual disorders, hypochondriasis, borderline personality disorder, and ADHD
- MBCT is usually run in groups and consists of 8 weekly 2-hour sessions with various formal and informal meditations
- There is clear evidence that depression is a chronic and relapsing condition, with at least 50% of patients experiencing another episode after recovery from a single episode
- When mood becomes low, depressive thinking intensifies mood, and cognitive processing becomes automatic
- The aim of relapse prevention is to provide clients with tools to disengage from ruminative and self-perpetuating modes of mind
- The core skill of MBCT is the ability to recognize and disengage from mind states characterized by self-perpetuating patterns of ruminative, negative thought
- When engaged in rumination, people experience thoughts as if they were actually happening, leading to higher amygdala activity and dysfunction between limbic and cortical circuits
- Mindfulness training may improve attentional control and affect regulation by improving working memory
- There are two modes of action in MBCT: "Doing Mode" (DM) and "Being Mode" (BM)
- The doing mode is goal-driven, triggers negative emotions, and sets in motion habitual patterns of continuous monitoring and evaluation
- The being mode is not motivated towards achieving any goal and focuses on "allowing" and "accepting" whatever comes along, practicing "non-doing"
