 Breaking the Cycle of Trauma, Addiction,    and Other Compulsive Behaviors:

 An Integrative EMDR Therapy Approach

San Diego, CA October 7-8, 2016

Presented by Susan Brown, LCSW, BCD

 

13  EMDRIA & Academic CEUs

Feeling 'stuck' in your work with clients who are caught in the web of addiction, unable to stop, but desperately trying?

Is it safe to proceed with trauma work when your client is not yet clean and sober?

What protocol best fits the clinical needs of your client and when should you use it?

This advanced workshop is for EMDR clinicians who want to develop their skills working with trauma, substance use disorder, and other compulsive behaviors. Key components from several modified addiction approaches (DeTUR, Addiction Memory, Idealized Positive Affect, Defense/Avoidance, and Feeling States) are synthesized and taught as an "integrative" model that includes: case conceptualization, safe preparation, timing, target selection, and relapse prevention within a trauma-informed framework.

Guided by current research and the principles of Adaptive Information Processing (AIP), you will learn how EMDR therapy, as a memory-based approach, can address these highly treatment-resistant behaviors and facilitate a resetting of the neural circuitry where life's focus shifts from simply surviving---to thriving. Join us for this 2 day event and learn how to work with your clients to systematically untangle the web of addiction and create a life worth staying abstinent for.

What previous workshop participants say about training with Susan:

"Susan Brown's mastery of addictions is matched by her ability  to integrate theory and research with practice in this 'must-see' workshop for all therapists. One of the best I've ever seen." 
 
"Susan's integrated approach supplied the missing piece in my work using EMDR with addicted clients. I have observed significant improvement with this population as a direct result of this synthesized approach."

"This workshop gave me some incredible tools to work with. I feel so much more equipped to give my clients understanding, validation, and hope."

"Susan's wisdom, guidance, and encouragement is going help me give hope to my addicted clients in their journey. The videos of case examples and handouts were fantastic--very helpful!"

 

Through lecture, discussion, video clips, and practicum experiences participants in this workshop will be able to:

  • Conceptualize and describe addiction as a neuro-developmental disorder of learning, memory, and neuroplasticity based on current knowledge of neurobiology.
  • Learn, practice, and apply an “Integrative EMDR Addictions Approach” including elements from credited contributors synthesized within EMDR therapy’s 8-phase, 3-pronged protocol.
  • Develop an addiction-specific AIP informed treatment plan including specialized resourcing procedures, identification of both "rewarding" and "distressing" memory elements, and clinically supported timing of targeting (ie: What to do and when to do it).
  • Identify and utilize tools for working with dissociated “parts” (or ego states) to toward adaptive integration of self and increased ability to engage in a healthy, sober lifestyle.
