E M A P: Emotionally Intelligent Mindful Acceptance-Based Program - Emotionally Intelligent Batterer Intervention Wendy W Coates

E M A P is the second edition of the Emotionally Intelligent Batterer Intervention program. E M A P is a comprehensive, trauma-informed treatment program for intimate partner violence. This participant workbook 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, E M A P teaches self-acceptance, mindfulness, 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. Individuals become vulnerable, transparent, and authentic as they develop an internal locus of control through powerful cognitive restructuring techniques. Participants express feeling grounded and empowered as they learn to slow down through mindfulness training. This program promotes healthy boundaries, assertiveness skills, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, empathy, and responsible parenting. E M A P exceeds the standard level of care for domestic violence treatment programs ranging from 24 to 52 weeks in length. For female group treatment, use Mindful Workbook for Women.
