Overview

Mindfulness is a skill to help people foster a connection with the present moment. The Psychology Tools For Mindfulness Audio Collection offers structured, guided exercises based on evidence-based mindfulness techniques that help users cultivate present moment awareness and acceptance.

Mindfulness practice is a core component of several evidence-based therapies, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Mindfulness is used to enhance present-moment awareness, reduce experiential avoidance, and foster a more accepting relationship with thoughts and emotions.

Mindfulness of Sounds and Thoughts is ideal for promoting cognitive and emotional flexibility in clients. Through this exercise, clients learn to view thoughts and sounds as temporary sensations, fostering an environment where they can practice non-reactivity. This resource aids in developing observational skills, encouraging a non-judgmental awareness.
