Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

I began in the 1980s with Stephen K. Hayes in martial arts, and later received ordination in three Buddhist traditions, receiving transmission as a Zen teacher, and have attended or conducted dozens of retreats. In my clinical training, I had mentors in my doctoral clinical psychology program, and have attended professional trainings on MBSR, MBCT, MBRP, MBCT-C, MB-EAT, ACT, and others. I have conducted close to 100 MBCT and other mindfulness programs in my clinical practice and for clinical research, including fMRI scans before and after an MBCT-C intervention. I have also given over 300 professional and public workshops on mindfulness, MBCT, and other topics, and have written a dozen books on psychotherapy, mindfulness, and MBCT.
