About Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight week program that uses a variety of mindfulness practices to reduce stress levels and experience of negative emotion, and to raise self-control, resilience and experience of positive emotion.

MBSR was created in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD as a way to treat patients at the University of Massacheutus Hospital who were recurring patients and for whom traditional treatments were seemingly ineffective.

Since that time MBSR has become the most scientifically validated mindfulness based intervention, with over 4000 mentions on online medical aggregator PubMed and is offered for treatment at over 700 hospitals, clinics and medical centers across the world.

Through employing the various mindfulness techniques offered in the course MBSR has been proven scientifically to help reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, fatigue, grief, headaches, and sleep problems.
