Richard Sears – Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Experiential Online Course

Mindfulness will offer your client a better quality of life…if you can effectively integrate it into your practice.

But like many clinicians, you might be frustrated with mindfulness because you don’t have concrete, practical ways to incorporate it for specific situations and symptoms such as PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain, addictions, and depression.

This is the course that will finally teach you exactly how to combine mindfulness and cognitive therapy techniques, to transform your practice—and your life.

Join expert trainer Dr. Richard Sears for a unique online experiential course to master the evidence-based Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) approach. He’ll guide you through the core competencies using passion, humor, and wisdom from his 30 years of teaching mindfulness.
