Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for crisis intervention, chronic conditions and relapse prevention.
Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT) is an evidence-based integration of mindfulness training (in the Burmese Vipassana tradition of Ledi Sayadaw, U Ba Khin, and S.N. Goenka) with well-established principles of cognitive-behaviour therapy. MiCBT consists of a four-stage transdiagnostic treatment approach that addresses complex comorbidity in a wide range of clinical conditions and ages. This talk will discuss how MiCBT addresses crisis and helps prevent relapse in a wide range of psychological disorders. It will describe how the theoretical framework of MiCBT rests on the Buddhist teachings of the five aggregates of mind and body. Dr Cayoun will also explain how the four stages of MiCBT are constructed from the principles of the Eightfold Noble Path and promote the development of insight.

At its core, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy supports the client in accessing and transforming deeply held and unintegrated processes that are limiting the client from living an expansive and whole life. For this gentle, yet powerful process to unfold, the Hakomi therapist sits in loving presence and embodies mindfulness, unity, organicity, body-mind wholeism and non-violence – the underlying principles of the method. In this webinar, you will get an understanding of the complexities of the Hakomi method and how it’s applied in a clinical setting.
