Keyword: Mindfulness and Meditation

Abstract: Modern mental health therapies use mind-wandering and mindfulness to improve client well-being. Mind-wandering aids in problem-solving, planning, and self-exploration. Mindfulness fosters present-moment awareness, reducing rumination and enhancing emotional regulation. However, research is lacking on how an individual's acceptance of these practices affects their willingness to seek mental health support.
