CAT in dialogue with Mindfulness: Thoughts on a theoretical and clinical integration.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

How much time do we spend preoccupied with the past, ruminating on what has already happened and wishing that things could have been different? How easily do we slip into worrying about or planning for the future, as though we were able to control it? So often we can become lost in our own minds, lost in judgements and striving and reacting to thoughts as though they were facts; unaware of what is really unfolding in this very moment. The present moment; the only moment any of us ever have. How many moments of our lives are wasted in this way? How much additional suffering do we cause ourselves by non-acceptance of whatever is already here in this moment, by attempting to resist or turn away from the sources of our pain or by trying to cling onto appealing thoughts and fantasies?
