Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, or MBSR for short, is like your personal toolkit for hitting the pause button on stress. It’s a blend of mindfulness exercises and stress-busting techniques designed to help you handle life’s ups and downs with a little more calm and a lot less overwhelm. MBSR therapy is rooted in simple, practical methods that help you stay grounded—no matter what’s going on around you.
Originally created to help people with chronic pain, MBSRhas become a go-to for handling everything from anxiety to everyday stress.
Need a break from the noise? MBSR might be your new best friend.

What is Mindfulness?
Before we get into MSBR, let’s chat about mindfulness.
Mindfulness is the ability to stay present and aware without being overwhelmed by what’s happening around you. It’s not something you need to learn—it’s already within you, waiting to be accessed.
How to Practice Mindfulness
- Meditate: Sit, walk, or move mindfully (just don’t lie down unless you’re okay with a nap).
- Pause: Take small, relaxing breaks during your day.
- Move: Combine mindfulness with yoga, running, or other activities.
Mindfulness is all about simple practices and big impact.
How MBSR Therapy Works
MBSR therapy is all about learning to pause and tune in. Through guided practices like breathing exercises, body scans, and gentle movement, MBSR helps you check in with yourself and take charge of your reactions. YourMBSR therapist will lead you through these techniques so that calm and clarity start to become second nature.

MBSR vs MBCT Therapy: What’s the Difference?
So, you’ve heard of both, but you’re not sure which one is right for you?
While MBSR focuses on helping you manage stress and anxiety, MBCT therapy (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) is geared more toward tackling depression and negative thought patterns. Both share similar techniques, but MBCT therapy adds a layer of cognitive work to help prevent downward spirals.
