Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)

A guide to MBCT in 10 videos

This AudioBuddha playlist presents mindfulness-based cognitive therapy across 10 videos, running to about 3 hours 25 minutes in total. It opens with the link between mindfulness and depression, then explores how awareness changes the way a person relates to difficult moods.

From awareness to daily life

The middle videos cover cultivating mindfulness, seeing thoughts as creations of the mind, and befriending feelings rather than pushing them away. The later ones carry the practice into everyday routines and finish with a guided breath and body meditation.

Who might find it useful

• Listeners who want an introduction to the therapy before going further.
• People interested in the relationship between mindfulness and low mood.
• Those who prefer guided audio to written material.

The series describes a clinical method, so anyone living with depression should seek professional support alongside it rather than relying on the videos alone.
