Mindful Workbook for Women Wendy W Coates

Revised and expanded second edition. Mindful Workbook for Women is a trauma-informed participant workbook for domestic violence group treatment. Adapted from Emotionally Intelligent Batterer Intervention (EMAP), this comprehensive treatment manual is also a self-help guide for high-conflict couples. Research shows that shame is highly correlated with domestic abuse, and many individuals enter treatment overwhelmed and defeated by shame. With a strong emphasis on compassion, curiosity, and accountability, Mindful Workbook for Women teaches self-acceptance, empathy, and impulse control. Accountability is a tool used to strengthen self-esteem and regulate emotion. Participants learn to identify and override harmful thinking patterns while healing old wounds, and they develop an internal locus of control through powerful cognitive restructuring techniques. Readers express feeling grounded and empowered as they learn to slow down through mindfulness training. Mindful Workbook for Women promotes healthy boundaries, assertiveness skills, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, empathy, and responsible parenting throughout the program. For male or co-ed groups, use EMAP: Emotionally Intelligent Mindful Acceptance-Based Program.
