Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention

Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention

Are you struggling with addictive behaviors?

This 7-week Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) program brings mindful-awareness practices to those struggling with addictive behaviors ranging from substance abuse and eating to reactive patterns in relationship.  Each week, we engage with our direct experience to build an increased awareness of triggers, destructive patterns and ‘autopilot’ reactivity that keep us from making authentic and healthy choices.  With radical acceptance (clear seeing & compassion), this process fosters the ability to help us pause, observe present moment experience, and bring light to an array of choices available to us in any given moment.  With awareness comes freedom from habitual and conditioned patterns that keep us disconnected from our bodies, minds, family, health and true nature.

MBRP Goals

1. Develop awareness of personal triggers and habitual reactions, and learn ways to create a pause in this seemingly automatic process.
2. Change our relationship to discomfort, learning to recognize challenging emotional and physical experiences and responding to them in skillful ways.
3. Foster a nonjudgmental, compassionate approach toward ourselves and our experiences.
4. Build a lifestyle that supports both mindfulness practice and recovery.
