Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: A controlled trial was conducted to investigate the effect of a brief mindfulnessbased \nintervention on the frequency, and difficulty in “letting go” of anxious self statements. \nEach day for a week participants in the treatment group (n = 28) \nlistened to the Leaves on a Stream mindfulness exercise (LeJeune, 2012), while those \nin the control group (n = 29) listened to a passage of prose of equal duration. The \nmean scores of both groups improved from pre- to post-intervention. However, \nafter intervention, the treatment group did not display lower frequency or difficulty \nin letting go of anxious self-statements than the control group. Explanations for, \nand practical implications of, these results are discussed.
