Train to facilitate MBCT programs with guidance from one of its co-founders, Zindel Segal.
Current treatments for depression provide relief for many people, yet they face significant challenges maintaining the benefits of treatment. Approximately 70-80% of people with at least three past depressive episodes will relapse within three years.
This workshop will lead you through an innovative 5-day intensive training program designed to prevent depressive relapse among people with a history of depression.
Based on the research of Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and John Teasdale and documented in their book Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, this program combines the tools of cognitive therapy with the practice and clinical application of mindfulness meditation. The heart of MBCT lies in acquainting patients with the modes of mind that often characterize depression while simultaneously inviting them to develop a new relationship to these modes. Using your personal mindfulness practice to inform your psychotherapy is a crucial part of this process.
Who should attend
Enrolment is open to health-care professionals who already have a mindfulness meditation practice and a clinical background. Registrants will be asked to provide a brief statement about their reasons for attending, a description of their clinical and meditation experience and their curriculum vitae.
Required reading: Segal, Teasdale and Williams, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression and Williams et al., The Mindful Way Through Depression.
What to expect
This training will combine elements of a clinical training workshop and a meditation retreat. You can expect to spend some periods in silence and others in active discussion and interaction. This program will follow a fairly concentrated schedule, starting at 6:30 a.m. and ending at 8 p.m. each day. The workshop will start at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6 and end at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 11. Please arrive on Sunday by 4 p.m. to check in and we will eat together before getting started.
