Mindfulness-based interventions are gaining traction among mental health and substance use disorder professionals for a reason: growing evidence supports their powerful impact on emotional regulation and cognitive recovery. Join Wendy Insalaco, MS, LCPC, LCADC, from Ashley Addiction Treatment, in an interactive session to explore how mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can transform the clinical approach to managing emotions, anger, and impulse control in substance use recovery.

In this session, attendees will learn about the basic principles of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and experience specific clinical applications of MBCT in the treatment of anger.
