A Bit About Mind Behaviour Training
MBT is an online mental health program available to anyone who would like to improve their ability to prevent stress and burnout. This approach is the result of over fifteen years of experience in the management of individuals with treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The objective was to develop a program that relies on the strengths and skills we already possess. In a society that accepts anxiety and depression as part of life, MBT teaches that high performance is compatible with wellbeing and quality of life.
MBT sessions are currently available for groups using Zoom as the online platform.

AWARENESS EXERCISES
1. DISCOMFORT
Read the Symptoms Checklist
Acknowledge the level of discomfort you tend to experience during the day. How much discomfort do you enforce as a boundary when approaching important circumstances in life? How much does it need to be before you focus on self-preservation? How much discomfort in the people around you do you enforce as a boundary instead? If different, why?
2. BEHAVIOURS
Read the Behaviours Checklist
What kind of person are you to others when dealing with important circumstances? What kind of person are you within yourself when dealing with important circumstances? If different, why?
How easily do you experience empathy towards others? How easily do you experience empathy towards yourself? If different, why?
3. CONSIDERATION & RESPECT
Read the Consideration and Respect Survey.
Which behaviours become more prominent when you deal with important circumstances in life? Do you acknowledge that all those behaviours can be damaging? Which boundary do you enforce when you behave that way towards others? Which boundary do you enforce when you behave that way towards yourself? If different, why?
