Summary

This study aims to pilot a psychological intervention protocol designed for individuals who use substances and who experience difficulties in emotion regulation. Emotion regulation refers to a person's ability to understand, manage, and respond to emotions in a healthy way. When these skills are impaired, individuals may develop emotional disorders (such as anxiety or depression) and addictive behaviors. For this reason, improving emotion regulation is considered a key component in addiction treatment.
