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.
