  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.

  7. Detached Mindfulness, Made Practical
    Detached mindfulness, developed by Adrian Wells in Metacognitive Therapy, is a mental stance of observing thoughts without engaging, analysing, or believing them — like watching clouds drift past without chasing any of them. It directly targets the extended rumination and worry that drive anxiety and depression, with growing clinical trial evidence supporting MCT overall.
