Why this works

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy significantly reduced grief-related anxiety and improved brain connectivity in bereaved individuals. Huang et al., 2021, Human Brain Mapping

Each session follows the ISO Principle — meeting you where you are emotionally before guiding toward calm (de Witte et al., 2020), with narration that progressively slows in pitch and pace to reduce muscle tension (Bernstein & Borkovec, 2006).
