The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program for Adults
​
Founded in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program spans nine weeks with ten sessions. This immersive program combines mindfulness and meditation practices and self-reflection and introspection. Over the years, extensive research has consistently highlighted its benefits, including stress reduction, enhanced pain management, improved cognition, increased emotional stability and resilience, as well as addressing conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD. Moreover, engaging in the MBSR program leads to greater life satisfaction.
