Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

[1BlackSheep]

Has anyone gone through an MBSR program? The Stress Reduction Program - Mindfulness - UMass Medical School - Worcester

My hairstylist was telling me that he's had a lot of GI problems which stem from anxiety, so his GP referred him to the program which is held locally. He said it's really helped him, so I'm thinking of giving it a try. The classes are offered through the clinic I work for as well as local hospitals, so it seems legit.

Sounds great! I'm no where near the University though....I wonder how much it costs?

They have a link to classes worldwide: http://w3.umassmed.edu/MBSR/public/searchmember.aspx

It's not exactly cheap though. The one near me is $300 + $35 materials fee. But, that's for 8 sessions so not all that bad.

Oh cool. Thanks for the link! That price seems very reasonable considering the number of sessions.
