Description
This presentation highlights the results from a five-year NIH-funded randomized controlled trial of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT) as an adjunct to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). MABT is designed to sequentially teach interoceptive awareness skills to promote self-awareness, care and regulation; this mind-body program involves psycho-education, touch, and mindfulness. The quantitative results showed significant increases in interoceptive awareness, and significant reductions in post-traumatic stress symptom reductions and pain severity for those that received MABT vs. Control pre-post intervention. Qualitative results highlight improved emotional awareness, emotion regulation and self-agency. Join us in hearing more about this project and the experiences of people who received this approach as part of their treatment.

Presenter Information
Cynthia Price:
Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT is a Research Professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA. Her other professional roles include: Research Director of the UW Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, and Director of the Center for Mindful Body Awareness. Cynthia studies a mind-body therapy she developed called Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT). The MABT approach includes psychoeducation, mindfulness and touch to teach interoceptive awareness skills for self-care and emotion regulation. Her clinical and research expertise is primarily focused on community-based research to improve health and well-being among people who are typically disconnected from their bodies due to trauma, chemical dependency, chronic pain, or other life stressors. She trains clinicians in MABT through the Center for Mindful Body Awareness.
The Center for Mindful Body Awareness is a non-profit aimed at providing professional trainings in Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), an evidence-based approach to teach body/interoceptive awareness skills for client self-care and emotion regulation. Interoception is the ability to access, attend and process inner body sensory experiences. MABT strategies are particularly helpful for clients with high experiential avoidance. Professional trainings for clinicians are designed as small classes to provide a supportive and individualized learning environment. The Center also works with organizations to train staff, develop programs, and evaluate MABT services READ MORE
