In this episode, Rachel talks with Professor Zindel Segal, Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Mood Disorders all about Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. (MBCT). Zindel discusses the origins of MBCT, detailing how he and his colleagues transitioned from traditional cognitive therapy to integrating mindfulness as a core mechanism for preventing depression relapse. The conversation explores the fundamental concepts of mindfulness, the challenges therapists face when shifting from goal-oriented CBT to mindfulness inquiry, and the empirical evidence supporting MBCT's efficacy, particularly concerning the neurobiological findings about sense foraging and the role of sensation in recovery.
