CBT + Mindfulness = MBCT

Mark Williams, a professor of clinical psychology at Oxford University, talks about Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy.

It enables you to see it more clearly — to see the chatter of the mind, just going on and on and on — and to begin, not to try to repress it or suppress it, not to try to push it away, but just to notice it, to acknowledge it, even to welcome it. And to say, almost with a smile, 'Ah, there you are again'. And when we greet it with a smile there's a very very curious thing happens . . . it tends to go away by itself."
