The What is Urge Surfing? Infosheet introduces clients to a mindfulness-based technique designed to help manage cravings and impulses by observing and “riding the wave” of urges without acting on them. Rooted in Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) and often integrated into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), this approach is particularly effective for clients working through substance use, eating disorders, and other addictive behaviors. The infosheet provides a clear explanation of the technique and its benefits, empowering clients to develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and long-term coping strategies.
