Let’s start with what it isn’t. It isn’t some new age, hocus pocus type of thing that some may think. You also don’t need to sit still for an hour. Mindfulness-Based Therapy is an approach that helps you tackle stress, anxiety, and other emotional struggles by focusing on the present moment. It’s all about being aware of what’s happening right now, without judging yourself, which can really help with managing your emotions and improving your mental health.

- Acceptance and Non-Judgment: You’ll practice accepting your thoughts and feelings without trying to change or avoid them. This can help you build emotional resilience and handle stress better.
- Stress Reduction: By focusing on the present moment, mindfulness can help reduce stress and make it easier to manage overwhelming feelings.
