Module 3: Mindful Emotion Awareness
Keyword(s):
Chapter 8 of Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Therapist Guide introduces patients to cultivating a nonjudgmental, present-focused stance toward their emotional experiences. The previous module asked patients to monitor to how their emotions unfold over time. This module builds on that work by encouraging patients to incorporate mindful awareness that moves beyond simply paying attention to these experiences. The principles of mindfulness are very consistent with the overall goal of the UP—to develop a more open, approach-oriented relationship with emotions.
