Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for Individuals With Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

"MBCT is partly based on the mindfulness-based stress reduction program (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues, and partly on cognitive therapy for depression, the latter influence particularly expressed through the aspect of decentering, meaning not accepting the content of thoughts as facts and not identifying with the thought. The MBCT programme in this study includes 2½ hours of training once a week for 9 weeks. In addition, participants are encouraged to practice at home for up to 45 min per day, 6 days a week during the entire course."
