The focus of this program is the utilization of mindful (relaxed and focused) attention as an alternative to a ruminative and worrying thought process.

Through instruction and practice you will systematically learn skills that will enhance your ability to recognize and cope more effectively with stressful thought patterns, situations and triggers.
