It feels stronger and more resilient and that\u2019s priceless.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThis class has given me hope that if or when I start to slide back into a hole again, I\u2019ll have tools to help forestall the slide . . . I feel encouraged I can be in control of myself again and the thought of being kind and gentle to myself\u2014I loved that!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>This course has shown me a new way of living\u2014a life-changing shift in perception. Being on this journey with others was invaluable.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThis has ben a life-opening experience. I feel grateful, nourished, and equipped with resources and tools that I can add to and use for rest of my life. I am very grateful.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe course exposed me to a completely new way of approaching day-to-day living . . . The notion of being able to formally take a time out from \u201cdoing mode\u201d to assess a situation seems very powerful . . .\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI\u2019ve learned that I am not alone.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThis course is one of the two most important things I\u2019ve ever done for myself. One is going on antidepressant medications\u2014those saved my life. Two, and just as important, is this course. It is helping me realize a better quality to my life. I am learning that what I need I already have within me. That is huge!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI feel like the importance of the program will continue to reveal itself to me, as time moves on . . . I imagine and hope that the things I\u2019ve learned\u2014how to meditate, new ways to think and to approach my feelings, thoughts, etc. will prove very helpful . . . David is outstanding, a gentle, caring, sensitive, perceptive, patient person\u2014just the sort of leader for this kind of work, and this collection of good and challenged people.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Together we will learn mindfulness skills in a supportive environment, with instruction, practice together, discussion, and plenty of time to address the challenges that come up when dealing with depression or anxiety, and when learning new tools to address these difficult emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The Mindfulness Center\u2019s next Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy course begins October 8, and will be taught by David Silver, MD.<\/p>\n<p>for registration please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/mindfulness-center\/programs\/mindfulness-based-cognitive-therapy\/\">www.uvamindfulnesscenter.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instructor: David Silver, MD An 8-week class offered by the Mindfulness Center, MBCT integrates mindfulness practices similar to those taught in MBSR with other skills adapted from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into a course helpful to those who suffer from depression and\/or anxiety.
