Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention
2 days course
Mindfulness Based relapse Prevention (MBRP) integrates two rich traditions – mindfulness and relapse prevention into a promising new clinical approach. MBRP integrates practices
that cultivate non-judgemental and accepting awareness with cognitive behavioural relapse
prevention skills.
As in the Relapse prevention approach, the identification of high risk situations for relapse
and the numerous specific and global intervention strategies to address each step of the
relapse process, remains a central component of this model. The addition of mindfulness
provides the opportunity and skills to observe pleasant and unpleasant thoughts, sensation
or feelings and to accept them without judgement. A major element of the mindfulness
training is teaching clients to direct their attention to the breath in order to focus and calm the
mind.
