MiCBT is an established evidence-based integration of mindfulness training taught in the Burmese Vipassana tradition of Ledi Sayadaw, U Ba Khin and S. N. Goenka, with well-established principles of cognitive and behavioural methods. MiCBT has been shown through rigorous research to reduce symptoms in a wide range of acute and chronic psychological disorders, including those with complex comorbidities. This unique integration of mindfulness and CBT is known as a “second-generation mindfulness-based intervention”, as it includes essential sets of transformational skills from Buddhist psychology.
Through the MiCBT Foundation Course, you will gain and enhance your understanding of mindfulness insights and behavior reinforcement, explore recent neuroscience findings related to behavior maintenance and change, and learn to engage clients in the treatment plan
Importantly, you will learn core and advanced personal mindfulness meditation skills that profoundly improve mental well-being. There is evidence that therapists practicing mindfulness decrease their mental fatigue and the frequency of burnout and increase their clinical effectiveness. Take part in the reputable MiCBT Foundation Course to benefit from these techniques and start making real change in your therapy outcomes and professional satisfaction!
