This course allows readers to receive credit for reading and studying the latest book from Dr. Jamie Marich and Stephen Dansiger, Healing Addiction with EMDR Therapy: A Trauma-Focused Guide. The course also includes exclusive video content from the authors expanding on insights from each chapter not available to the general public. As of the publication of this new, comprehensive work from Drs. Marich and Dansiger, this book course becomes the Institute for Creative Mindfulness' official "flagship" advanced topics course for working with addiction in a comprehensive way within EMDR therapy.
Book Description: This innovative and brand new EMDR therapy guide for healing addiction is the first book to underscore the efficacy of EMDR therapy as a primary modality for treating trauma and addiction. Targeting the trauma lurking beneath the addiction, the resource presents a comprehensive collection of best practices and strategies for using EMDR therapy to treat addictive disorders, and guides practitioners in incorporating their protocols of choice into EMDR treatment. While illuminating underlying theory, the book focuses on practice knowledge and how therapists can translate this knowledge into clinical settings in order to provide clinicians with a fully integrated approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of addiction across populations
Written in user-friendly language by two prominent practitioners and trainers of EMDR therapy, the book helps therapists to address the complexity of addictive disorders by providing a comprehensive guide to the standard eight-phase protocol and adaptive information processing model as groundwork for case conceptualization and treatment. Chapters contain case studies with commentary on relevant decision-making points along with discussion questions to enhance critical thinking. Abundant “Tips and Tricks” learned in the trenches make the text come alive with clinical relevance, and references to many of the best specialty protocols and strategies for treating clients suffering from addiction due to trauma, guide readers to choose the best protocol for each situation.

Objectives
After this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Summarize the overall landscape of established research and practice in using EMDR therapy to treat and heal addiction following more than 30 years of EMDR therapy development
2. Define addiction (and related constructs) through various lenses and perspectives, including an AIP-informed perspective
3. Discuss what makes EMDR therapy a complete system of psychotherapy, even in the treatment of addiction
4. Apply the thematic approach to Phase 1 Client History
5. Explain the importance of using a thematic Client History approach in working with complex trauma issues that can underlay addiction (as opposed to more chronological or numerical inventory based methods)
6. Apply no fewer than 5 mindfulness-based resources (established for use in addiction care) into Phase 2 Preparation
7. List other skills that are needed in Phase 2 Preparation other than the traditional “Calm Safe Place” exercise, especially in working with clients who are impacted by addiction and related constructs
8. Define the “EMDR Therapy Phase 2.5” concepts as coined by Marich and Dansiger and explain its relevance to EMDR therapy case conceptualization in working with addiction
9. Integrate the decision-making concepts discussed in the EMDR Phase 2.5 model into clinical work, allowing for a safe and collaborative plan between client and therapist in moving from EMDR Phase 2 into EMDR Phase 3
10. Manage abreactions and intense displays of affect displayed in EMDR therapy Phases 3-6, accounting for concerns or barriers/fears that clinicians may have around making people “worse”
11. Discuss the Addiction as Dissociation model and use it to best manage clinically significant dissociation within EMDR therapy sessions
12. Apply best practices for Phase 7 Closure and Phase 8 Re-Evaluation that will assist clients in advancing their recovery or treatment-related goals
13. Distinguish best practices (both similarities and differences) between private practice and treatment center settings in applying EMDR therapy
14. Discern and make decisions about use of specialty EMDR protocols for addiction (e.g., DeTUR, CraveEx, FSAP) vis-à-vis standard protocol EMDR therapy
15. Explain the Palette of EMDR Interventions for Addiction (PEIA) model and use it as an assist in clinical decision making
