Stage 2 — Exposure Stage
Here is something most people find surprising about MiCBT.

Stage 2 is not about relaxation.

It is about gently facing the situations you have been avoiding.

Avoidance makes sense in the short term — it reduces anxiety immediately. But over time, it shrinks your world. It reinforces the belief that you cannot cope.

In Stage 2, you use the mindfulness skills you have been building to face avoided situations — not to push through them, but to move through them with equanimity.

The result: not just less anxiety. A quiet, growing confidence that you can handle what comes.

Week 1 of MiCBT begins with something deceptively simple.

You learn to notice your body.

Not to relax it. Not to fix it. Just to notice — with as little judgment as possible.

This sounds straightforward. But for most people, it is the first time they have ever paid deliberate, sustained attention to what is actually happening inside them, moment to moment.

From this foundation, everything else in the programme is built.

Emotional regulation. Confidence. Better relationships. Compassion for yourself and others.

It all starts with learning to notice.

Most mindfulness books give you ideas.
This one gives you a map.

The MiCBT programme has 4 stages:

Stage 1 — Personal (4 weeks): Learn to notice your inner world without being swept away by it.

Stage 2 — Exposure (2 weeks): Gently face what you have been avoiding, with your new skills as support.

Stage 3 — Interpersonal (2 weeks): Stop reacting to other people's reactivity. Watch your relationships shift.

Stage 4 — Compassion (2 weeks): Extend what you have learned outward — to others, and back to yourself.

10 weeks. One chapter at a time.

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.
