Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Enhancing Recovery and Mental Health

Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is going on inside of you and outside of you.
Can mindfulness really make a difference in substance use recovery? In this episode of 'Airing Addiction', hosts Lisa Blanchard and Jesse Chaison sit down with Dr. Zlatina Kostova to explore the powerful benefits of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). This isn't just about meditation; it's about learning to catch your thoughts and mood swings before they spiral out of control. Dr.
Kostova shares how MBCT helps individuals become more aware of their internal and external experiences, changing their relationship with their thoughts and beliefs. By recognizing and accepting thoughts without judgment, people can prevent negative thinking patterns and reduce depression. The conversation also touches on how MBCT can aid trauma survivors and parents, offering practical ways to manage behaviors and emotions.
Whether you're on a recovery journey yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into integrating mindfulness into daily life. Plus, there's a sneak peek into Dr. Kostova's work with families, emphasizing the importance of self-care. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that could change how you approach mental health and recovery.
