Question 1

Do I need meditation experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. This program is designed for all levels ~ complete beginners and experienced meditators alike. Everything is taught step-by-step. Every week is a different skills that builds upon the next.

Question 2

What if I miss a session?

Accepted Answer

We understand life happens. You'll receive session summaries and meditations, though live attendance is strongly encouraged for the group learning experience.

Question 3

Is this covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This qualifies as group psychotherapy under most Extended Health Benefits. We can provide receipts for submission to your insurance provider.

Question 4

What's the time commitment outside of sessions?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 10-30 minutes daily of home practice (guided meditations and exercises). The more you practice, the more benefit you'll experience.

Question 5

How is this different from a meditation app?

Accepted Answer

This is structured group learning with a certified teacher, evidence-based curriculum, and the support of others on the same journey. You'll learn the "why" behind the practices, not just the "how."

Question 6

What's the assessment process?

Accepted Answer

It's a brief phone conversation (15ish minutes) to ensure MBCT is the right fit for your current needs and right timing. Some mental health situations benefit more from individual therapy first.

Question 7

What's the group size?

Accepted Answer

Small and intimate, i.e., maximum 10-12 participants to ensure everyone has space to share and ask questions.

Question 8

What do I bring?

Accepted Answer

Just yourself... all materials provided. Wear comfortable clothing for brief mindfulness exercises.

Question 9

How is this different from regular therapy?

Accepted Answer

This is an evidence-based, structured group program focused on skill-building through MBCT techniques. It's educational and experiential, not traditional talk therapy.
