MET(T)A is a new and innovative way to envision and implement Addictions treatment that is grounded in the well researched 30 year old theory and practice of EMDR therapy. This approach leans heavily upon the incredible work of those who have explored the use of EMDR therapy with PTSD, addictions and a whole host of issues, and upon the obvious and deep need for trauma resolution to be a focus of sustainable long term recovery.
On Friday July 27, Mark Brayne and EMDR Focus have invited me to present a day long workshop on the MET(T)A Protocol in London. Last year Jamie presented EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness, and this year I am coming in to focus more specifically on the elements of Buddhist psychology in EMDR therapy, and the application of mindfulness, the 8 Phase Protocol and the AIP model as a systemic template for addiction treatment. I will also be sharing the implications for other treatment settings including general mental health and private practice. This is the first of I hope many opportunities in Europe and throughout the world to share this information.
