New MiCBT scoping review published.

We’re pleased to share a new scoping review of Mindfulness-Integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT), now published in Mindfulness.
Overall, the findings indicate that MiCBT is an effective, transdiagnostic mindfulness-based intervention. Rather than focusing on disorder-specific techniques, MiCBT targets interoceptive desensitisation and equanimity, offering a process-based pathway to change that can be applied across mixed and complex presentations.
We’ve added a summary and full citation on the MiCBT Institute research page, including a link to the journal article. Clinicians, researchers and trainees who are interested in the evidence base for MiCBT and other mindfulness-based interventions may find this particularly useful.

Participants needed for Equanimity, Authenticity and Well-Being in Sexual and Gender Minorities, UTS Research Project, conducted under the supervision of Dr Alice Shires.

The purpose of this research/online survey is to validate a newly developed scale measuring equanimity in sexual and gender minorities (SGM). Furthermore, the study seeks to explore the relationship between equanimity and well-being for SGM through authenticity. Previous research has shown mindfulness is related to how authentic one is to their self and their well-being, and we hope to gain further understanding of how this relates within SGM.
