Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an empirically-supported 8-week course in mindful living developed in the late ’70s by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.
MBSR has been found to positively and often profoundly affect participants’ ability to reduce medical symptoms and psychological distress while learning to live life more fully.
Over forty-years of research suggests the majority of people who complete the MBSR curriculum report:
* Reductions in stress and emotional reactivity
* Loosening of the grip of negative habits and thought patterns
* Improved self-compassion and self-care
* Better management of anxiety and depression
* Decreased pain and medical symptoms
* Improvements to overall well-being
