The Mindfulness for Anxiety group offers participants an evidence-based approach to anxiety grounded in mindfulness practices.  Over four 90-minute groups, participants will be introduced to several formal and informal mindfulness practices, and the many ways that mindfulness practices can fundamentally change our relationship with anxiety.  

This group will draw upon several approaches, including Unwinding Anxiety, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Western psychological approaches to anxiety, such as CBT and ACT.  Unwinding Anxiety (UA), developed by Dr. Jud Brewer at Brown University, teaches participants to understand their “anxiety habit loops” and harness the power of reward-based learning to establish new habits grounded in mindfulness.  Both Josh and Erin have in-depth training in the UA program.  In addition to the UA program, mindfulness meditations from the MBSR program will be introduced, offering participants the opportunity to learn a variety of mindfulness practices both during and between group sessions, with guided recordings.

The Mindfulness of Anxiety group will be open to a limited number of in-person participants, and a small number of live online participants who will be present with the group over zoom.  In addition to four 90-minute group sessions, participants will receive guided recordings and a manual for between group use, as well as support-as-needed from Josh and Erin.
