Reducing Risk of Relapse Using a Comprehensive Program of Resilience Training, Part 1

Part 1 of 2 of a presentation at WCSAD 2016 by Stephen Sideroff, PhD. The description of the talk follows:

"Stress is a powerful trigger for relapse and a source of dysregulation. This workshop will identify stress related factors that create the neuropsychological conditions for addiction liability. To address this, Dr. Sideroff will present an innovative model of resilience that incorporates physical, emotional and mental healing and optimal functioning. He will present a strong argument for a dedicated track within treatment and recovery for reestablishing the ability to self-regulate. In this workshop, participants will learn a comprehensive model of self-regulation factors along with teaching tools and how to apply this model of resilience to help the recovering addict cope better with their inevitable life stresses. Dr. Sideroff will also present his own resilience tool, a 40 item questionnaire that can be self-scored and gives a person their own “Resilience Profile” showing their strengths and areas needing more development; and how this can be used to help guide treatment and recovery."
