The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC)

From neuroimaging and subjective descriptions, the PCC has been found to be activated during self-related thinking and deactivated during meditation

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing one's attention to the internal and external experiences occurring in the present moment, which can be developed through the practice of meditation.

The term "mindfulness" is a translation of the Pali-term, which is a significant element of some Buddhist traditions. The popular mindfulness movement was initiated by Jhon Kabat-Zinn.

Studies have also shown that rumination and worry contribute to mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, and that mindfulness-based interventions are effective in the reduction of both rumination and worry.

John Kabat-Zinn and MBSR

In 1979, John Kabat-Zinn founded the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program at the University of Massachusetts to treat the chronically ill.

This program sparked the application of mindfulness ideas and practices in Medicine for the treatment of a variety of conditions in both healthy and unhealthy people.

MBSR and similar programs are now widely applied in schools, prisons, hospitals, veterans centers, and other environments.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)

MBCT is a psychological therapy designed to aid in preventing the relapse of depression, specifically in individuals with Major depressive disorder (MDD).

It uses traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methods and adds in newer psychological strategies such as mindfulness and mindfulness meditation.

Cognitive methods can include educating the participant about depression.

Mindfulness and mindfulness meditation, focus on becoming aware of all incoming thoughts and feelings and accepting them, but not attaching or reacting to them.

MBCT

Research supports the effects of MBCT in people who have been depressed three or more times and demonstrates reduced relapse rates by 50%

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is an approach to psychological intervention defined in terms of certain theoretical processes, not a specific technology.

In theoretical and process terms we can define ACT as a psychological intervention based on modern behavioral psychology, including Relational Frame Theory, that applies mindfulness and acceptance processes, and commitment and behavior change processes, to the creation of psychological flexibility.

Imagery

Simple Definition of imagery:

•: pictures or photographs

•: language that causes people to imagine pictures in their mind

•: pictures of people or things in a work of art

Imagery-definition

means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses.

Usually it is thought that imagery makes use of particular words that create visual representation of ideas in our minds.

The word imagery is associated with mental pictures. However, this idea is but partially correct.

Imagery, to be realistic, turns out to be more complex than just a picture.

Guided Imagery-definition *

Guided imagery is a mind-body intervention by which a trained practitioner or teacher helps a participant or patient to evoke and generate mental images that simulate or re-create the sensory perception of sights, sounds, tastes, smells, movements, and images associated with touch, such as texture, temperature, and pressure, as well as imaginative or mental content that the participant or patient experiences as defying conventional sensory categories, and that may precipitate strong emotions or feelings in the absence of the stimuli to which correlating sensory receptors are receptive.

The practitioner or teacher may facilitate this process in person to an individual or a group. Alternatively, the participant or patient may follow guidance provided by a sound recording, video, or audiovisual media comprising spoken instruction that may be accompanied by music or sound.

Milton H. Erickson

Where classical hypnosis is authoritative and direct and often encounters resistance in the subject, Erickson's approach is permissive, and indirect.

He used metaphors and stories in his work.
