Research shows that MBCT is very successful for people who have experienced three or more depressive episodes, with many studies noting that it can reduce the risk of relapse by about 50% for those with recurrent depression.

It empowers people to manage their mental health by refining skills that improve emotional regulation, reduce automatic negative thinking, and promote long-term flexibility.

The method has become widely accepted in clinical practice and is regularly delivered in an 8-week group format, allowing individuals to build and maintain these newly developed mindfulness abilities over time.
