ARP 307 A Quick Look at Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

In this episode, a quick look at mindfulness-based stress reduction.

The end of the year stuff is coming up early this year so quick episodes are probably going to be in the mix for the next few weeks.   If I can even get to an episode at all, it's that busy too much to do and not enough time.    However, my news feed blew up with articles, about a study about mindfulness-based stress reduction, The headlines, in many of these new stories were something like mindfulness works just as well as medicine.    In this episode, a quick look at the study and some resources so that you can do a deeper dive than most of mainstream media.   If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.
