Imagine you're sitting across from a client who has been battling addiction for years. Something always pulls them back. The cravings, the urges, the compulsions - despite all their efforts, they can't seem to break free. What if you could help them heal the emotional pain and trauma driving their addiction? What if you could offer them lasting relief? With EMDR you can ... but they didn't teach you this in basic training. That's why I created this step-by-step training, to give you the skills to use EMDR therapy to treat addiction and trauma simultaneously ... ... so you can reach the traumatic roots of addiction, release the grip of cravings and urges, and offer your clients a powerful, lasting path to recovery. I'm going to walk you through it all. The practical tools and specialized protocols that you can immediately apply. No jargon, no confusion. Just clear and actionable instruction that will have you ready to: Assess for and identify the trauma driving your client;s addiction Use proven EMDR protocols like DeTUR, Feeling-State Protocol, and Crave-X designed specifically to treat cravings, urges, and compulsions Understand how addiction is tied to unmet attachment needs, so you can address the root causes not just the symptoms Create a customized treatment plan that integrates addiction-specific goals Overcome common barriers to treatment, like dissociation and blocking beliefs.
