Abstract
Mindfulness has been used to improve physical and psychological health in a variety of treatment modalities across the globe. Specifically, the use of mindfulness and mindful-based interventions relevant to those living with obesity has increased dramatically over the past decade, and substantial research is now being conducted in this arena. This paper includes a review of the literature on mindfulness-based interventions and implications for therapeutic use for counselors working with this population.
