My favourite Mindfulness Resources
People often ask me for suggestions of the best mindfulness resources. It can be daunting to choose amidst the abundance of options available.
Here are some suggestions both from me, and from participants in my Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) groups. Check these out and see what resonates most with you. My personal favs: Brene Brown’s “The Gifts of Imperfections” (highly recommended for recovering perfectionists like myself), and The Mindful Way Workbook (the workbook I use to guide my MBCT groups).
