  • mindfulness based cognitive therapy for generalized anxiety disorder
    Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 2008
    Co-Authors: Susan Evans, Stephen J Ferrando, Marianne Findler, Charles Stowell, Colette M Smart, Dean Haglin
    Abstract:

    Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a chronic condition characterized by intense and excessive worry and is associated with high rates of comorbidity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be efficacious for GAD. Nonetheless, GAD is the least successfully treated of the anxiety disorders, and there are often residuals symptoms in patients who are successfully treated. Mindfulness-Based therapies may provide an alternative and/or adjunctive Approach to CBT. This chapter discusses CBT and mindfulness for GAD as well as the recent literature on the neurobiology of GAD. A conceptual framework for a Mindfulness-Based Approach to GAD is developed. Specific case examples are provided to illustrate key concepts. The author proposes an 8-week protocol specific to GAD based on Mindfulness-Based cognitive therapy (MBCT) developed by Segal et al. (Mindfulness-Based cognitive therapy for depression: a new Approach to preventing relapse. Guilford, 2002). Challenges implementing MBCT are reviewed as well as recommendations for professionals considering training in MBCT.

  • Addressing the Midlife Happiness ‘Dip’: An Evidence-informed, Mindfulness-Based Approach to Support & Promote Women’s Well-being
    DigitalCommons@Lesley, 2020
    Co-Authors: Wayte Shelby
    Abstract:

    This work articulates the need for and introduces a novel model of supportive care: a Mindfulness-Based wellness intervention that holistically addresses the unique implications and stressors of middle-aged women. Midlife remains the most poorly understood and understudied period of the lifespan. Research suggests that not only are middle-aged people less happy, they have the lowest levels of life satisfaction and experience the most anxiety and stress compared to both younger and older age groups. This marks a trend currently being analyzed: Happiness dips gradually in early adult life until it reaches its lowest point, approximately around a person’s mid-40s to early 50s, and seemingly starts to rebound in older age. This well-being and happiness ‘U-curve’ pattern is now referred to as the ‘midlife slump,’ and it’s especially intriguing due to its consistency across individuals, countries, and cultures. While midlife is undoubtedly a period fraught with chronic stress for all genders, a number of physiological, psychological, and psychosocial factors may mean this midlife low, or ‘dip,’ is seemingly more pronounced for women. This work clearly demonstrates the need for targeted well-being interventions for middle-aged women. While it’s encouraging that the happiness U-curve seemingly rebounds in older age, it would also be encouraging to think midlife malaise could be improved with a specifically targeted mindfulness and wellness protocol informed by evidence-based best practices. Considering the unique, well-documented pressures and stressors to midlife well-being, this area represents a rich opportunity for future study and potential. Introduced in this work, the Midlife Mindfulness Reappraisal Model (MMRM) may potentially fill the gap here — taking the edge off of the lowest point of the dip, thereby enhancing women’s midlife health, happiness, and well-being
