The concept of mindfulness originated from Buddhist meditation and developed from meditation, meditation and enlightenment. Intentionally and consciously pay attention to and perceive everything at the moment, without making any judgment, analysis or reaction to everything at the moment.

Just simply perceive it and pay attention to it. Later, mindfulness developed into a systematic psychotherapy, that is, mindfulness therapy, which is based on mindfulness psychotherapy.

Mindfulness decompression therapy

Mindfulness decompression therapy is also called mindfulness decompression course, abbreviated as MBSR. Kabajin, born in 1979, is a doctor of molecular biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an honorary doctor of medicine at the Massachusetts Medical College. He runs a decompression clinic for the Massachusetts Medical College.

Mindfulness cognitive therapy

Mindfulness cognitive therapy, MBCT for short. It is a psychotherapy method developed by Tess and others, which combines cognitive therapy and mindfulness decompression therapy to mainly solve the recurrence of long-term depression. Tess found through research that life stress, anxiety and thinking mode disorder are highly correlated with long-term recurrent depression.

Therefore, he proposed ways to eliminate the recurrence of depression. Firstly, people should realize that the emergence of negative thinking indicates that depression may recur. Then in some way, people can be freed from the negative thinking flow that is easy to relapse. Tess and her colleagues developed cognitive therapy to achieve these goals.

dialectical behavior therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT for short. It was founded by Linehan to treat borderline personality disorder. The reason why Zen-based mindfulness is regarded as an important part of dialectical behavioral therapy lies in discovering the defects of traditional cognitive and behavioral methods in treating borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Reinhardt realized that the biggest disadvantage of traditional methods is that they emphasize "change", which is almost ineffective and impossible for BPD patients. Therefore, he tried to change the traditional cognitive and behavioral methods and treat BPD patients by emphasizing confirmation and acceptance rather than change.
