Description

This course is specifically intended for individuals who are currently facing the challenges of addiction, as well as those who are in the process of recovery and are aiming to enhance their emotional sobriety. It thoughtfully incorporates Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to equip participants with essential skills required for effectively managing emotions, nurturing healthy and meaningful relationships, and implementing robust crisis management and mindfulness techniques. All of these approaches are firmly backed by scientific research in the field of addiction recovery. Participants will also have the opportunity to cultivate psychological flexibility, learn to embrace and navigate challenges, and commit to actions that significantly enhance their lives through strategies provided in acceptance commitment therapy. The curriculum is meticulously grounded in mindfulness principles and offers various strategies for behavioral change, which are crucial for anyone on the road to recovery.
