ABSTRACT
This client workbook chapter corresponds to Session 1 of Emotion Regulation Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders. In Chapter 3, clients learn about the treatment program and the procedures that will be used to address their problem use of alcohol. They also learn about the connection between emotions and alcohol, and they learn a technique for becoming more aware of physical sensations. The technique is called the Body Scan and its purpose is to increase awareness of physical sensations, which are a component of emotions. Next, self-monitoring of alcohol use is described and clients are provided with instructions for completing the daily self-monitoring log. Finally, between-session skill practice is assigned.
