Sure thing Jack
event; whilst practising a sitting meditation I started thinking about work and how much catch up work I need to do, each time I thought about work I noticed the knot in my stomach became tighter and tighter
thought; work
reaction; stomach tensing
MICBT wants you to observe the knot in your stomach and sit with that, however it may feel. CBT wants you to change the thought of work stress into something more positive.
The differences between CBT, MICBT and mindfulness sometimes seem contradictory or too similar however after some careful research I am at peace with them!
