Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy - What Are the Mechanisms of Adverse Effects?
The first paper was called defining and measuring meditation related adverse effects in the context of mindfulness based programs. And so we basically took the code book from the varieties project and at the very, very end of a randomized clinical trial, it was actually a dismantling study looking at mindfulness based cognitive therapy. We asked them if they had had any of these experiences. So when it was happening, was it positive, negative or neutral? And then we also asked a separate question, which was what was the impact on your life? Because sometimes you can have a really negative experience in meditation, but it ends up like eventually becoming really healing or really positive.
