  1. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Made Practical
    MBCT is an 8-week group program developed by Segal, Williams, and Teasdale that combines mindfulness meditation with cognitive therapy techniques to prevent depressive relapse. Multiple independent meta-analyses find it significantly reduces relapse risk in people with three or more prior depressive episodes — the evidence base is among the strongest for any mindfulness-based intervention.
  2. Action plans for low mood: if-then plans for the early warning signs
    Build a specific "if mood dips to X, I will do Y" plan before mood declines so it is ready when needed.

  5. Metacognitive Therapy, Made Practical
    Metacognitive therapy (MCT), developed by Adrian Wells, targets not the content of negative thoughts but the beliefs people hold about thinking itself — particularly the beliefs that worry and rumination are useful or uncontrollable. By changing these meta-level beliefs, MCT aims to stop the prolonged self-focused thinking styles that maintain anxiety and depression. A growing body of randomized controlled trials supports MCT as effective for GAD, PTSD, depression, and social anxiety, with some studies showing superiority to CBT.

    Systematically move attention through the body, noticing sensations without trying to change them.
