This advanced topics training provides therapists trained in EMDR an innovative conceptualization of addiction and effective interventions for addiction treatment. By utilizing the Addiction as Dissociation Model, the material reduces the stigma often present towards people struggling with addiction. Further, participants gain skills training through case conceptualization and three (3) practicums for treating addiction with EMDR Therapy. Support and treatment insights for application of model and for working with difficult cases are provided throughout the training. The presentation is fully compliant with the Standard 8-Phase Protocol and the Adaptive Informational Processing Model (AIP) as written by Dr. Francine Shapiro.
Applications to case conceptualization, addressing underlying shame, and addiction memory with EMDR Therapy are performed in three practicums. Decision-making insights derived from the presenters’ experience as a clinician and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, in the scope of the Addiction as Dissociation and the AIP models, also provided. This presentation gives EMDR therapists a different lens through which to conceptualize addiction that can hopefully diffuse much of the cultural bias around addiction. By conceptualizing addiction through the lens of dissociation/complex trauma, this presentation makes steps forward in helping to destigmatize attitudes toward people struggling with addiction.
