The body does not keep the score: Trauma, predictive coding, and the restoration of metastability (Frontiers in Neuroscience)
“Understanding trauma as a dysregulation of metastability may also dissolve a long-standing paradox in mental health: why so many diverse treatments—exposure therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, exercise, psychedelics, flow-inducing pursuits—can all succeed. Each, in its own way, restores flexible coupling between large-scale networks, quiets maladaptive self-referential loops, and rebalances neuromodulation. The mechanism is not specific content but dynamic reorganization.”
Effects of timing and type of trauma-focused treatment on psychosocial functioning: Secondary outcomes from a randomized controlled trial in patients with co-occurring substance use disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (Behaviour Research and Therapy)
This study examined secondary outcomes from an RCT comparing Prolonged Exposure (PE), EMDR therapy, and Imagery Rescripting (ImRs), delivered simultaneously with or sequentially to SUD-treatment to evaluate treatment responses per type of therapy as well as timing of delivery.
Invisible traces after traffic accidents: Psychological and behavioral consequences of physical injuries (Injury)

This service evaluation investigated the feasibility of group EMDR-based intervention G-TEP for clients with varied trauma histories (not from a shared traumatic event), reporting good clinical outcomes.
