Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention Group

Hi Eric,

Wanted to let you know about a group I’m co-facilitating. Thanks!  Carol Battistoni, M.A. Psychology ‘94, LMHC
 
Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention group for people struggling with any type of addiction, such as to drugs, alcohol, compulsive eating, or reactive behavior. MBRP is an integration of mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral techniques, with a focus on preventing relapse into harmful habitual behaviors. We are also working towards providing an ongoing meditation group for graduates of the MBRP groups.

Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention

An 8 week group for people in recovery from addiction to drugs, alcohol, compulsive eating, or for those who simply want to change harmful habits.

Thursdays, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Beginning September 16th, 2010 and going through Nov 4th, 2010
 
Mindfulness is moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness.  It is about being fully present in the moment, and being with ourselves and our experience in a new way.  With mindfulness we learn to stay present with and respond differently to all experience (stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, anger, craving) rather than react in harmful ways, creating a more balanced and livable life. 
 
Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention integrates mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral techniques to prevent relapse for people in recovery and/or struggling with any type of addiction.
 
Facilitators:
Carol Battistoni, MA, LMHC, and Jessica Harris, MA, LMHC are both licensed psychotherapists who practice mindfulness in their personal lives and clinical work. They are both mindfulness-based relapse prevention therapists for the University of Washington Addictive Behavior Research Center.
 
Cost:  $320 for the 8 week series.  Sliding scale is also available; please inquire.  Located in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle.
