Theoretical Background & Therapist Guidance

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). Across these models, mindfulness is used to enhance present-moment awareness, reduce experiential avoidance, and foster a more accepting relationship with thoughts and emotions. In clinical practice, mindfulness supports emotional regulation, attentional control, and increased psychological flexibility.

This audio collection draws on these established frameworks to offer structured mindfulness exercises that can be integrated into therapy or used independently. The practices help clients shift from reactive, automatic patterns to more reflective and grounded responses. Whether used to manage anxiety, depression, stress, or emotional dysregulation, these exercises promote stability, insight, and a greater sense of control over internal experiences.
