Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention for Food Addiction
8-Week Evidence-Based Program for Lasting Recovery
Relapse isn’t a sign of failure—it’s part of the cycle of change. But it doesn’t have to control your path.
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) is an 8-week, highly evidence-based program designed to help you recognize cravings, manage triggers, and build the emotional resilience you need for lasting recovery. Originally developed at the University of Washington, MBRP has been studied for over two decades and is now considered one of the most effective relapse-prevention approaches available.
What makes MBRP so powerful?
Urge-Surfing
Learn to ride out cravings without acting on them—so urges lose their grip over time.
Mindfulness Practices
Build awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and body cues, without judgment or shame.
Proven Relapse Prevention Tools
Identify triggers, warning signs, and high-risk situations with skillful strategies to stay grounded.
Self-Compassion & Regulation
Strengthen your ability to respond with care instead of reacting on autopilot.
