\"MBCT<\/a><\/strong>by Andrea M. Darcy<\/span><\/p>\n

MBCT <\/strong>is a relative newcomer to the psychotherapy scene, and it can be confusing to understand the differences between it and CBT<\/strong>. First of all, what do these acronyms stand for?<\/p>\n

CBT= Cognitive Behavioural Therapy<\/a><\/p>\n

MBCT= Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy<\/a><\/p>\n

Does this imply that MBCT is just CBT with some meditation thrown in? Let’s take a look.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What is CBT?<\/h2>\n

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a short to medium-term talking therapy. The client and therapist decide on how many sessions will be involved, usually between six weeks and six months. The basic concept is that focussing on changing the way you think (cognition) will change the way you act (behaviour). And vice versa.<\/p>\n

CBT looks at ‘negative spirals’, where your dysfunctional thoughts lead to uncomfortable feelings and physical sensations, that then lead to dysfunctional actions. Which trigger another negative thought, and on the cycle goes. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Disrupting these cycles means that<\/strong> anxiety and mild depression<\/a> become more manageable. So CBT sets out to help you manage your problems in a more positive way by identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Or by taking the actions that you always avoid, but that could lead to disrupting your negative thinking (called behavioural interventions<\/a>).<\/p>\n

An example of CBT in action<\/h3>\n

A simplified example of CBT in action<\/strong> would be looking at the way you act when a friend says they can’t go out with you because they are busy. You might think they actually don’t like you, and that’s the real reason they always say no to you lately.\u00a0 Which leads to the more negative thought that ‘people almost never like me’, which leads to you feeling sad and a bit tired, and paranoid or anxious. The result is you don’t go out at all, and spend another Friday night in feeling bad about yourself.<\/p>\n

CBT would encourage you to question the negative thought that your friend doesn’t like you. You’d look at the <\/strong>worst thoughts around this then the opposite side, the most positive possibilities. Then\u00a0 try to find a balanced, in the middle way to see it. (My friend might sometimes be annoyed with me, but does like me, and is probably busy). This thought would then leave your feeling less low or tense, meaning your mood will change.<\/p>\n

CBT aims to help you begin to think in open-minded over negative thought loops. Until it becomes habitual to think with a wider and more positive perspective over always thinking the worst, or indulging in the extremes of ‘black and white thinking<\/a>‘.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is mindfulness?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mindfulness <\/strong>is a mental state and therapeutic technique attained by purposefully focusing your awareness on the present moment, while calmly and without judgement acknowledging your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>The concept of mindfulness<\/a> is quite ancient, and arises from Buddhist and other Eastern spiritual teachings. These believe that a calm awareness of one’s body, feelings, and mind is an important part of the road to self actualisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mindfulness was taken and developed in the 1970s as a psychological tool to manage anxiety, stress and chronic pain<\/a> by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn. He then set up a stress reduction clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, to teach its principles. Now mindfulness is a scientifically researched phenomenon, recognised by the world’s leading doctors, scientists, and psychologists. In the 1990s it was further developed specifically to help depression.<\/p>\n

Mindfulness has proved itself so useful as it helps combat the ‘auto-pilot’ it is so easy to live a busy modern life from.<\/strong> We eat an entire bag of pretzels without realising it, until we reach into the bag. Or walk all the way to a destination before realising we haven’t noticed a single thing we’ve walked by.<\/p>\n

And if we are distracted, challenges can take us unawares.<\/strong> We respond reactively<\/a>, flying off the handle or saying something we regret<\/a>. And then feel anxious or depressed<\/a>. If we have present moment awareness, on the other hand, we can be calmer and respond with consideration. Mindfulness helps us consider our actions and respond in thoughtful ways. And it helps us consciously choose what environments, people, and thoughts to be affected by, too.<\/p>\n

In summary, mindfulness creates room for us to make clearer choices, feel more in control of our lives, be calmer and make healthy decisions<\/a>. And ultimately to find more joy, by noticing the positive details<\/a> of our lives and relationships.<\/p>\n

So let’s add them together. What is MCBT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"CBT<\/a>

By: Allan Ajifo<\/p><\/div>\n

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines the best aspects from both the above theories…and then some.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s research by psychologists Jon Teasdale and Philip Barnard found the mind had two main modes. There is the ‘doing’ mode and the ‘being’ mode.<\/p>\n

The ‘doing’ mode is<\/strong> goal oriented, triggered when the mind sees a difference between how things are and how it wants things to be.<\/p>\n

The ‘being’ mode<\/strong> isn’t focused on achieving specific goals<\/a>, but rather accepting and allowing what is<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was discovered that the ‘being’ mode was the one that lead to lasting emotional changes.<\/strong> So they concluded that effective cognitive therapy would have to promote not just cognitive awareness like CBT, but also the ‘being’ mode of the mind, such as mindfulness offered.<\/p>\n

And mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was born…<\/h2>\n

Psychiatrists Zindel Segal and Mark Williams as well as Jon Kabat-Zinn became involved and helped combine these new ideas about cognitive therapy with Kabat-Zinn’s mindfulness-based stress reduction program. MBCT was born.<\/p>\n

Like CBT, the goal is to develop consistent awareness of your thoughts and reactions so you notice when you are becoming triggered into negativity. But MBCT teaches that the best way to notice these triggers and to manage stress and anxiety is to develop ongoing awareness and acceptance of the present moment. Instead of trying too hard to understand the thought, MBCT would promote accepting the thought without judgement and letting it drift from your mind without attaching too much meaning to it.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The greater and more consistent your awareness of the present moment,<\/strong> the more likely it is you will catch the negative thought spirals and choose to disengage from distressing moods or worries.<\/p>\n

So then how exactly are CBT and MBCT different?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CBT helps you recognise and reframe the negative thought patterns that lead to anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

To reiterate, MBCT also helps you recognise negative thoughts, and, like CBT, to learn that thoughts are not facts but something you can take a wider view of.<\/p>\n

But MBCT then uses<\/strong> mindfulness<\/strong> – recognising what is going on for you in the present moment, how you are thinking and feeling and experiencing things right now – to help you be less caught up in mental loops in the first place.<\/p>\n

CBT uses cognition to understand negative thought processes.<\/strong> In other words it’s a ‘thinking’ therapy. It is analytical, with clients tasked with charting their emotions and reactions as homework. Although it does take note of the body’s reaction to stress and negative thoughts, it could be called a ‘head-based’ therapy. The focus is on mentally ‘pushing out’ negative thoughts.<\/p>\n

Tools used in MBCT<\/h2>\n

\"John<\/a>The tools used in a series of MBCT sessions are quite different.<\/strong> A session might integrate things like breath focus (where you spent a few minutes putting your attention on your breathing), body scans (observing the tension and sensations in the body) and sitting meditation<\/a>. In this way, it can be a ‘feeling’ process.<\/p>\n

MBCT can be seen as experiential, not just analytical.<\/strong> And although it still involves a lot of work with recognising thought patterns, it is much more ‘body-based’ t<\/a>han CBT. The focus is on accepting thoughts as they arise, and letting them go.<\/p>\n

How are CBT and MBCT the same?<\/h2>\n

As mentioned, they both work to help you recognise and change negative thought patterns.<\/strong> And help you control your thoughts and therefore your moods.<\/p>\n

They both aim to make you less likely to be drawn into automatic reactions<\/strong> to thoughts, feelings and events.<\/p>\n

They are also both short- to medium-term therapies.<\/strong> And they both work best with mild depression and anxiety over being the sole therapy for issues like trauma and abuse<\/a>, that might better suit a longer-term talking therapy.<\/p>\n

CBT vs MBCT a quick guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CBT<\/strong> MBCT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MCBT<\/a><\/h3>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n

Both CBT and MBCT have been proven in studies to be effective ways of treating depression, and if you are choosing between the two it is really a personal choice.<\/p>\n

If you are not sure which type of therapy would suit you best you could always try to source a therapis<\/strong>t who offers both options. And keep in mind when choosing a therapist that it’s not just the type of therapy that matters, but that sometimes what’s even more important is that the therapist is someone you feel you can connect and work with.<\/p>\n
