A Feasibility Study of an Emotion-Focused Mindfulness Group

Intervention The group will run for 8-weeks. Each group session is 2 and a half hours. Half way through the intervention there will be a 5 hour retreat on the weekend. A typical group format includes 20-40 minutes of meditation, followed by 10 minutes of independent journaling. Then group members will have time to report on recollections from meditation and facilitators will provide feedback. There is a break and the second part of the group focuses on a didactic teaching topic. Topics change each week; groups will run between October 2016 and June 2018.
