Using EMDR with Craving and Addiction Disorders
We don't have any trainings currently scheduled. If you would like to be notified when one is available, please let us know by clicking "keep me posted" and providing your name and contact information.
Overview
Substance use is a coping mechanism that many rely on during difficult times. It is a form of self-medication that is readily available and socially acceptable, up to a point. For those with a history of trauma, a reliance on mood altering substances can readily lead to dependency and addiction. Statistically up to 75% of clients with a history of trauma have co-occurring substance-related or addiction disorders. In terms of our client base, the chances are better than average that those seeking therapy are experiencing problems related to drug and alcohol use, whether or not they have admitted this to you, or perhaps even to themselves. Untreated trauma contributes to addiction disorders, and addictive symptoms complicate the treatment of trauma. It is a vicious cycle that can be particularly challenging to resolve. This workshop will help you gain a sense of competency in how to identify and deal with these diagnoses in your case load.
Training Highlights
In this workshop you will learn the role neurobiology plays in addiction disorders and a variety of effective preparation phase tools. Larry will demonstrate and review Thought Field Therapy, Recovery Centered Resourcing, and relevant EMDR addiction protocols. He will then teach you the Craving and Consequence of Use (CCU) protocol he developed which has been highly effective in helping clients overcome addictive urges. This adapted approach to EMDR points the way to changing behavior while strengthening a sense of self. The client can replace hopelessness and shame for hope and empowerment. Data from a recently completed research study (in publication) of the CCU protocol will be reviewed.
Workshop Objectives
Participants will be able to:
