MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction)
for Anxiety
An 8-week structured programme combining mindfulness meditation and yoga. Strong evidence for anxiety, with durable effects after completion.
How it works
Cultivates non-reactive awareness of anxious thoughts. Structural brain changes (reduced amygdala grey matter density) have been observed in neuroimaging studies.
What to watch for
Requires commitment to a structured programme and daily practice (45 minutes/day). Less studied than CBT for specific anxiety disorders. Digital programmes are available.
