This online course explores the benefits of integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed procedures and interweaves in the treatment of addictions and compulsions within the 8 phases of EMDR therapy, with a focus on relapse prevention. Addictions and and other related maladaptive behavior patterns can leave people feeling shameful, out of control, trapped, and isolated; but chronic relapsing, which is so common to the addictive process, is deeply demoralizing. It often triggers hopelessness, self-loathing, and in some cases, overdose, and death. The way we understand the addictive cycle and relapse from a parts perspective helps organize treatment planning, preparation, and reprocessing (unburdening). This six hour intermediate to advanced workshop is intended for fully trained EMDR clinicians.
