  • Present Moment Focus: Shifting attention from past regrets or future worries to the current experience.

Benefits:

  • Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.

  • Improves emotional regulation and resilience.

  • Enhances overall well-being and life satisfaction.

Trials of mindfulness-based therapy with individuals with ACEs

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

  • MBSR, an 8-week program focusing on mindfulness meditation, has been one of the most researched mindfulness interventions. It involves meditation practices like mindful breathing, body scans, and mindful movements.

  • Trials have shown significant reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals with ACEs. MBSR has been found to improve emotion regulation and reduce rumination and negative thinking patterns in such individuals.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

  • MBCT combines mindfulness techniques with cognitive-behavioral strategies, aiming to reduce recurrent depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms.

  • Research indicates that MBCT is effective in reducing depressive relapse, promoting self-compassion, and decreasing trauma-related rumination. Individuals with high ACE scores often benefit from learning to recognize and detach from maladaptive thinking patterns, which are common in ACE-related trauma.
