Relapse Prevention Phase II Group

Relapse Prevention Phase II Group is a program designed to explore what it means to be human. By engaging in mindfulness clients will discover where their attachments lay and why they suffer; and be given a path of liberation from their suffering. Each client has the potential to let go of what no longer serves them, experience the full reality of life, and find happiness in the moment; because the present moment is all we truly have.

We use two workbooks in this group, along with daily meditations and assignments.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook

Practical DBT Exercises for learning Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance.

Introduction to The Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path to Understanding:

The delicate beauty of the lotus flower that floats above the pool of water without getting wet, the roots deep within the mud below, comes to represent non-attachment, or non-clinging to things of this world.

The lotus symbolizes being free from ignorance and the attaining enlightenment

Mindful Recovery:

There’s a center of quietness within, which has to be known and held. If you lose that center, you are in tension and begin to fall apart.

– Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth (1988)
