A brief introduction to the 3 R's  of Mindfulness Therapy: RECOGNITIONRELATIONSHIPRESOLUTION. First mindfulness teaches us to wake up to our habitual reactivity and negative thinking; secondly mindfulness teaches us how to turn towards our suffering and form a non-reactive relationship with our anxiety; third, mindfulness creates a "therapeutic space" in which emotions begin to  soften, unfold, transform and finally resolve.
