Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Resource Tapping (EMDR) in the Treatment of Chronic Pain
National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC) Webinar (August 2016)
This webinar will explore the combined usefulness of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Resource Tapping (an EMDR technique) in helping patients with chronic pain. These interventions, individually and together, are evidence-based practices for both chronic physical pain (e.g. back injuries, lupus) and “diffuse pain syndromes” more often associated with MH disorders (e.g. fibromyalgia). Traditional medical interventions for all these disorders often rely on opioid analgesics and anxiolytics which predispose persons in recovery from Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) to relapse.

Shifting from Cognitive to Behavioral Approaches in CBT
National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC) Webinar
Although CBT is an integrated approach, there is an underlying assumption that therapists will use both cognitive and behavioral approaches in the treatment. However, there is not much discussion of how and when to shift from cognitive approaches to behavioral ones and how to do that within a group of clients who are in different stages of change. This webinar will discuss tasks of the stages of change and how to use these to guide both individualized and group approaches to shifting strategies.
