2 The Problem of Depressive Relapse The more you get depressed, the higher the chances of getting depressed AGAIN After 2 nd episode, 70-80% relapse rate First and second episodes tend to occur after something stressful happens After that, depression takes on a life of it s own

3 Triggers for Depressive Relapse Takes longer to pull out of dips in mood Sad moods trigger negative thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs Leads to withdrawal & reduced activity Then more depression

4 Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) MBCT cuts relapse rates in half for those with 3 or more episodes (Hofmann, Sawyer, Witt, & Oh, 2010; Kuyken, Crane, & Dalgleish, 2012; Ma & Teasdale, 2004; Piet & Hougaard, 2011; Teasdale, Segal, & Williams,1995; Teasdale, Segal, Williams, Ridgeway, Soulsby, & Lau, 2000; Williams & Kuyken, 2012) MBCT on par with maintenance antidepressant medication (Kuyken, Byford, Byng, Dalgleish, Lewis, et al, 2010; Segal, Bieling, Young, McQueen, Cooke, et. al., 2010)

5 What is Mindfulness? the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment to moment (Kabat-Zinn, 2003, p. 145)

6 What is Mindfulness?
