ONE Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement

Experimental group

Description:

One MORE is a 2-hour adaptation of the manualized MORE program and will be divided into four, 30-minute segments. In the first segment, participants will be introduced to mindfulness and guided though a body scan practice, which directs participants to systematically shift attention from one part of the body to the next. Mindful pain management will be the focus of the second segment and participants will be guided through a mindfulness of pain practice in which they will learn to deconstruct pain into sensory, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. The third segment will focus on managing the negative thoughts and emotion that can amplify pain with mindful reappraisal, and the fourth segment will focus on increasing the positive emotions that can attenuate pain with mindful savoring.

Treatment:

Behavioral: ONE Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement

Treatment As Usual

No Intervention group

Description:

In the Treatment as Usual (TAU) condition, participants will complete all study assessments (pre-treatment, post-treatment, 2-week, 4-week) without receiving any ONE MORE training. During their study involvement, TAU participants will be encouraged to continue any previously initiated treatment but discouraged from beginning any new form of treatment. Those in the TAU condition will not be sent any training materials.
