A structured Multimodal Therapy technique focused on relapse prevention (mmt). It gives the therapist a concrete way to translate the approach's model into observation, dialogue and a small clinically relevant experiment.
Step-by-step guide
- Introduce Relapse Prevention (MMT) in plain language and connect it to the client's current situation.
- Ask for one recent concrete episode rather than a general life summary.
- Map the relevant pattern, need, relationship, body cue, belief or action sequence.
- Invite the client to test one small shift during the session or during the week.
- Review what changed, what resisted change, and what should be adjusted next.
When to use
- Use when the client's presentation calls for relapse prevention (mmt) within Multimodal Therapy.
- Use after enough alliance and context have been established.
