EMDR Training for Addictions

April 10th | 8:30a - 5p Mountain (On-demand after)

Approved for 7 EMDRIA Credits

Addiction is often a response to unresolved trauma, yet traditional addiction treatment models frequently overlook its deep-rooted connection to attachment wounds and developmental trauma. This course offers a trauma-informed framework integrating the eight phases of EMDR Therapy to help EMDR therapists move beyond symptom management and into lasting change. Through didactic instruction, case studies, and demonstration videos, participants will gain practical tools to effectively address addiction through EMDR Therapy with compassion and respect.

What You’ll Learn:

• Reframe addiction through the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model and EMDR research

• Develop addiction-specific treatment plans that balance trauma and addiction recovery

• Utilize Phase 1 history-taking strategies to assess core memories, triggers, and blocking beliefs

• Apply Phase 2 resourcing techniques to stabilize clients using polyvagal-informed strategies

• Integrate EMDR techniques to target cravings, urges, and maladaptively stored positive material

• Navigate Phase 8 reevaluation challenges and relapse fears

• Use the Future Prong to help clients visualize and rehearse long-term recovery

Through didactic instruction, case studies, and demonstration videos, you’ll gain practical, applicable tools to confidently support clients struggling with addiction.
