Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention is a novel treatment approach developed at the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington, for individuals in recovery for addictive behaviors. It integrates cognitive-behavioral Relapse Prevention skills and strategies within a format and structure that are based on Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Zindel Segal and colleagues’ Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBRP practices are intended to foster increased awareness of triggers and “automatic” reactions, while cultivating the ability to pause, and expand the range of choices before each of us in every moment. Ultimately, we are working towards freedom from deeply ingrained and often catastrophic habits. The primary goals of MBRP are: 1. Develop awareness of personal triggers and habitual reactions, and learn ways to create a pause in this seemingly automatic process. 2. Change one's relationship to discomfort, learning to recognize challenging emotional and physical experiences and responding to them in skillful ways. 3. Foster a non-judgmental, compassionate approach toward one's self and one's experiences. 4. Build a lifestyle that supports both mindfulness practice and recovery. This workshop provides:

Deepen your understanding of the ethical issues involved in managing boundaries. Explore and strategize ways to respond therapeutically to digital incursions into privacy.
