 I am excited to travel to Oxford and speak about MET(T)A Protocol and the future of mental health and addiction treatment. Over the last few years the elements of MET(T)A and technology have come together for me as a systemic overhaul to our usual way of looking at the problem and solution. Here is the description of my talk:

Traditional inpatient and outpatient models have long remained stagnant, limiting our ability to provide comprehensive and effective trauma-focused care. This talk proposes a groundbreaking hybrid approach that combines the expanded power of EMDR, mindfulness, and cutting-edge technology to usher in a new era of holistic healing. This systemic shift takes us beyond trauma-informed care; it aims to be trauma-focused, placing emphasis on not only understanding trauma but actively addressing and healing it. Drawing upon EMDR therapy, mindfulness practices, and the potential of technology, this is a call to action to rethink the way we treat trauma. This presentation will delve into the intricacies of this innovative methodology, demonstrating how the integration of elements ancient and modern, Eastern, Western and Indigenous, can reshape global mental health care, and also impact the worlds of government, business and communities.

I also have the honor of being on a panel on the closing day of the conference regarding technology in mental health. As we progress with the development of our own technology, I have become more and more excited about sharing with others and creating collaborative opportunities to help end suffering at scale.

If you can’t join in person, it is a hybrid event. See you in Oxford!

Jamie Marich and I will take some time in this live webinar to introduce audiences to our new work, Healing Addiction with EMDR Therapy: A Trauma-Focused Guide. As long-time EMDR therapy practitioners, consultants, and trainers working in the area of addiction, we have proposed that EMDR therapy can be a core component in addiction treatment, not only as an adjunct to treatment, but as the primary treatment itself. We discuss how comprehensive understanding of both EMDR therapy and addiction is necessary to deliver optimal care for people struggling with addiction. This webinar is open to both EMDR therapy professionals and the general public wanting to learn more about options for healing addiction in a trauma-focused manner.

Join Jamie and I for this live webinar on Oct 20, 2021, Wednesday, at 12:00PM PST / 3:00 PM EST.

I am excited to be presenting at the WCSAD 2021 conference on October 2, 2021, Saturday, 2:00-3:30pm at the La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, CA on You are Not Your Anger: Mindfulness and EMDR Therapy for Anger Management. Anger is a symptom of many diagnoses and difficulties treated with EMDR therapy and other trauma-focused therapies, including but not limited to addiction, PTSD and complex PTSD. Meanwhile, an inability to identify or process anger can be a primary presenting issue on its own. Anger Management is not just about defusing rage. It is about helping clients develop a new relationship with their anger through resourcing and reprocessing. Attendees will identify how the EMDR eight-phase standard protocol and the Adaptive Information Processing Model, along with mindfulness-based strategies can treat anger when it is a primary presenting issue for therapy, or within all the diagnoses impacted by this important but unwieldy emotion. Attendees will evaluate the application of anger management and distinguish how to apply a trauma-focused care approach to anger. This workshop is appropriate for EMDR clinicians and non-EMDR clinicians.

I am thrilled to be partnering with Promises Behavioral Health to celebrate Mental Health Month virtually on May 26, 2021 from 12PM – 1PM EDT / 9AM – 10AM PDT. This past year, we have all become caregivers for each other through the still ongoing challenges of the pandemic. Professional Caregivers need to be mindful of their own mental, emotional and spiritual health. Clinical Dharma, the implementation of the original formulations of the historical Buddha and Buddhist psychology as a self care plan, creates a sustainable path for the healer and helper. It provides a framework for obtaining and maintaining balance and the ability to process in the midst of difficulty. I look forward to honoring Mental Health Month with you as I present on Clinical Dharma: Care for the Helpers and Healers.

My colleague Dr. Jamie Marich is hosting an online day retreat, with myself and Dr. Kellie Kirksey as special guests, examining the interplay between darkness and light. This retreat is a great opportunity to explore and deepen your contemplative practices. I will lead participants in Buddhist-inspired practices to show how loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity are made manifest through sitting in light and dark. Dr. Kellie Kirksey will fuse her knowledge of complementary medicine, yoga, and African healing practices for a dynamic session on embodied drumming. Participants will be able to interact with all three presenters in small groups to gain insight into strategies for practice during difficult times. The full-day retreat ticket includes the main program with the three presenters (9:00am-4:30pm EST), an early morning yoga-“meditation in motion” session with Dr. Jamie, and an evening Dancing Mindfulness experience co-taught by Dr. Jamie & Dr. Kellie.

Special bundle pricing is available if you are taking the continuing education course Trauma and the Twelve Steps: Clinical Keys for Enhancing Recovery Services (with Dr. Jamie Marich) on December 11, 2020. Join us on December 12, 2020 from 9:00am-4:30pm EST for refuge, retreat, and renewal.
