Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is for individuals experiencing stress resulting from chronic physical and/or psychological conditions. MBSR is scientifically supported and can help you cope better with physical and psych0logical conditions, and develop practical self-care tools to help you flourish. MBSR was developed in the 1970s by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. It is an 8-week, evidence-based program to help participants explore habitual patterns of thinking, behavior, and more. This 8-week group program helps develop the capacity for greater calm and teaches practical skills to manage stress. The majority of MBSR program participants report lasting decreases in psychological and physical symptoms exacerbated by chronic stress. Research has demonstrated improved behavioral outcomes including better sleep, lower blood pressure and fewer worries.
