Day 1 – May 27, 2020
Workshop #1: Current Science of Addiction and Recovery: Dispelling the Stigma
Presented by
Darryl S. Inaba, PharmD., CATC-V, CADCIII, co-author of Uppers, Downers, All-Arounders
8:30am - 4:00pm May 27, 2020
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Brain imaging and other more recent research tools continue to discover variances in neuro-cellular, neuro-chemical, and neuro-functioning that underlie a vulnerability to develop substance-related and other addictive disorders. The brain anomalies associated with addictive disorders provide an understanding of the differences between the wide variety of drugs and behavioural compulsions. They also help to explain why some are more likely than others to relapse after treatment for their compulsive drug use or behaviours. The rapidly expanding field of Addiction Medicine provides new insights on preventing, assessing and treatment of addictions and related disorders. It is also providing more evidenced-based resources to better manage those struggling with these major mental health disorders. This presentation will explore the evolving science of Addiction and Recovery to dispel the undue stigma associated with Substance Related and Addictive Disorders. It will also offer an introduction to the new resources in development to treat these disorder and the evolving medical specialty of addiction medicine.
COURSE GOALS:
- Increased understanding of neuro-chemical, neuro-cellular and neuro-functional mechanisms that underlie addictions and related disorders.
- Appreciation of the diathesis stress model as the root cause of addiction and related disorders
- Familiarity with the brain’s memory process of dendritic spines and their role in triggering cravings that lead to vulnerability for slips and relapses in recovery.
- Improved understanding of the brain’s memory process and its role in craving and relapse in addiction
- Exposure to the expanding science of epigenetic gene expressions and how environmental trauma can influence the vulnerability to addiction
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Identify the 2 major circuit of the brain’s addiction pathway and name at least 2 brain structures involved with the “Go” and “Stop” processes of these circuits
- Elucidate 3factors that contribute to the development of the brain anomalies associated with Substance Related and Addictive Disorders.
- Describe how neurotransmitters affect compulsivity and cravings and name at least 3 the most important neurotransmitters involved in these activities.
- Explain formation of dendritic memory spines and identify the 2 major pathways of memory formation in the brain and their role in addiction.
- Provide at least 2 ways that gene expression is altered to influence addiction vulnerability

Workshop #2: Trauma and Attachment Across the Lifespan: Tools and Strategies to Address Complex Clients
Presented by
Eboni Webb, Psy.D., HSP
8:30am - 4:00pm May 27, 2020
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Many of the clients that we serve have such complex problems due to extensive trauma and attachment disturbances. These early wounds have informed their adult presentations resulting in mental illness and personality disorders. The poet William Wordsworth wrote in his poem, My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold (1802), “..the Child is father of the Man.” Future pioneering psychologists would be inspired by this passage as they came to understand that both function and dysfunction are born in childhood and guide us in our adult lives.
In this course you will come to understand the impact of trauma on the developing mind and how attachment is formed or lost through traumatic events. You will learn how the brain is organized through healthy attachment and the critical elements of healthy attachment. We will examine the current neuroscience behind both trauma and attachment and the top evidence-based strategies to address key DSM-V disorder through the lens of trauma.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Learn the impact of trauma on the developing mind.
- Identify the key features of healthy attachment and its impact neurologically.
- Identify the key defensive survival strategies in trauma.
- Learn how relational character strategies are formed that can be effective adaptations to relationship disturbances.
- Develop strategies to address key disorders across the lifespan that are influenced by trauma and attachment disturbances (ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, etc.)
- Develop strategies to address key personality disorders across the adult lifespan that are influenced by trauma and attachment disturbances (Antisocial, Borderline, Obsessive Compulsive Personality, etc.)
- Understand how to establish a safe therapeutic environment that reestablishes healthy boundaries, connected communication and validates a client’s survival journey.

Workshop #3: Understanding the Diagnosis of Sexual Compulsivity/Addiction and the NEW ICD 11 Diagnosis and Prodependence: A new, attachment-focused treatment model for loved ones of addicts (and the mentally ill)
Presented by
Robert Weiss, Ph.D., LCSW, CSAT
8:30am - 4:00pm May 27, 2020
COURSE DESCRIPTION: 8:30am – 12:00pm – Understanding the Diagnosis of Sexual Compulsivity/Addiction
Author/Educator/Sexologist Rob Weiss Phd., LCSW will open this discussion with the recent World Health Organization (ICD-11) diagnosis of Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder (CSBD) and its relationship to what we have typically called sex and/or porn addiction. The various myths surrounding sexual compulsivity/ addiction (what it is and what it isn’t) will be clarified, as he reviews typical types of sexual acting-out behaviours and the related consequences that are most indicative of sexual compulsivity/addiction. Technology and sex will be discussed in all forms, including hook-up apps, live AR/VR sex, along with the evolving problem of porn addiction in younger people. We will review common addiction terms as applied to sex like powerlessness and unmanageability as well as the addictive power of sexual fantasy. The talk will explore the oft underlying trauma and attachment deficits that unconsciously propel these types of adult intimacy disorders, helping attendees to understand sex addiction/compulsivity as an intimacy disorder, and not simply a sex issue. Common treatment plans will be reviewed along with basic goals of early treatment. Resources for client and future clinician education will be provided.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: 1:00pm – 4:00pm – Prodependence: A new, attachment-focused treatment model for loved ones of addicts
Abstract: Prodependence is the first attachment-based model for the treatment of addict’s partners and loved ones. The model moves beyond the trauma and deficit-based theories of codependency and co-addiction, allowing us to view this population with strength-based eyes and fresh ideas. Prodependence is more invitational, less pathological, and more personally affirming to those who are intimately involved with addicts, as Prodependence neither assumes or assigns any pathology or label to people simply because they are loving a troubled person to the best of their ability. The past 35 years have brought endless new, useful, and cutting edge treatments to the addiction space (Smart Recovery, EMDR, trauma work, somatic, equine therapies, and more) — all to foster better outcomes for our addicted clients. But when it comes to the treatment of an addict’s partner and loved ones, we have seen little new thought since the concept of codependency was first fleshed out over three decades ago. Now is the time for more compassionate and practical, clinically sound, tested treatment models be brought to life.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: 8:30am – 12:00pm
- Attending professionals will learn the major psychological issues presented by men and women seeking help for repetitive patterns of relationship infidelity and sexual/romantic acting out.
- Attending professionals will be able to identify the three major signs of compulsive and addictive sexual behaviour in non-offending adults.
- Participants will gain knowledge of basic referral resources and information including: Self-help groups, review of the 12 step programs, online resources and useful articles and books.
- Attendees will gain insight into 3 or more “cultures” living online
- Attendees will learn 3 different arenas in which clients can become digitally-addicted
COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1:00pm – 4:00pm
- Introduce a new model of treatment (educate participants) for partners and families of addicts.
- Attendees will be able to compare and contrast codependence and prodependence to understand the differences between the models.
- Attendees will develop new skills to intervene on loved ones of addicts
- Attendees will learn how to differentiate a trauma treatment model from an attachment model.
- Attendees will learn new language for assessment and evaluation of this population.

Day 2 – May 28, 2020
Workshop #4: Harm Reduction, The Disease Theory, and Trauma
Presented by
Stanton Peele, Ph.D., author of The Truth About Addiction and Recovery
8:30am - 4:00pm May 28, 2020
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Harm Reduction — which recognizes and builds on the fluidity of humans and their ability to change — is the opposite of the disease theory. And while significant cracks have begun to appear in the disease theory’s dominance in North America, remarkably, harm reduction thinking often accepts fundamental disease theory conceptions — primarily that addiction occurs simply as a result of exposure to opioids, is NOT impacted by social setting, and is irreversible. Dr. Peele deploys data, common sense, and the audience’s personal experience to show how wrong-headed — and dangerous — this disease theory residue is, while he presents an alternative way of thinking and treatment. Trauma theory is discussed in this regard.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- To become aware of how the basic disease theory of addiction — exposure = addiction — is imbedded in cultural thinking.
- To understand how this thinking underlies our modern addiction and drug death epidemic.
- To understand how Harm Reduction often reflects — counterproductively — these cultural disease assumptions.
- To be familiar with epidemiological data, personal experience, and effective therapeutic tools to counteract this destructive cultural and clinical drift.
- To review the modern emphasis on trauma in Harm Reduction and treatment in terms of the foregoing.

Workshop #6: Childhood Trauma, Addiction and PTSD: Treatment Strategies and Interventions
Presented by
Jennifer Sweeton, Psy.D., M.S., M.A.
8:30am - 4:00pm May 28, 2020
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Over the past couple of decades there has been an exciting merging of psychotherapy and neuroscience research that is revolutionizing clinical practice. Cognitive, affective, and social neuroscience research provides profound insight into the brain changes humans are capable of producing, as well as how childhood trauma (such as ACEs), and trauma more broadly, may negatively impact the brain. We are beginning to learn, through neuroscience research, how the brain can change with the practice of psychotherapeutic techniques that target and improve the functioning of specific brain structures. This seminar, led by clinical expert Dr. Jennifer Sweeton, shares the most up-to-date research discoveries on the neuroscience of childhood trauma, addiction, and PTSD, and teaches highly effective psychotherapy techniques clinicians can begin using tomorrow to help clients recover.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Identify six key brain structures involved in addiction and PTSD.
- Name two ways childhood trauma changes the brain.
- Describe how developmental trauma brain change differs from brain change observed in adulthood trauma.
- State two ways therapy can change the brain for better mental health.

Day 3 – May 29, 2020
Workshop #7: Working with Compulsive and Self-Endangering Behaviours in Trauma Survivors
Presented by
John Briere, Ph.D.
8:30am - 4:00pm May 29, 2020
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Survivors of trauma and early attachment disturbance are at elevated risk of a variety compulsive and self-endangering behaviours, ranging from suicidality and self-injury to substance abuse, indiscriminate sexual activities, and binge eating. Many of these difficulties are seen as symptoms of a personality disorder, behavioural addiction, or impulse control disorder. However, emerging research indicates that they are more accurately understood as coping/homeostatic responses to triggered childhood memories and inadequate emotional regulation capacities.
Calling on his upcoming book Triggered: An Integrated Approach to Trauma, Attachment Disturbance, and Risky Behaviour (Guilford), John Briere presents an innovative, integrated approach to self-endangering behaviour, the compensatory avoidance model. Drawing on new research on memory reconsolidation, implicit processing, and revisions to habituation theory, this treatment system directly targets the memory/dysregulation dynamic, with interventions such as emotional regulation training; mindfulness, metacognitive awareness, and emotion surfing procedures; sequential memory processing; in vivo treatment of implicit memory activations; and harm reduction.
A new treatment component, trigger management, increases client autonomy, resilience, and problem-solving. Approaches to three risky behaviours will be presented in detail: self-injury, risky sexual behaviour, and bingeing and purging. Attendees will be provided with newly developed worksheets and assessment instruments that organize and inform the treatment process.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Describe the Compensatory Avoidance Model (CAM)
- List four different distress reduction behaviours
- Outline the central components of trigger management
- Discuss the limitations of prolonged exposure and habituation
- Describe two ways in which implicit processing occurs in CAM-based therapy

Workshop #8: Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up: Relational Strategies to Treat Challenging Trauma Clients
Presented by
Robert T. Muller, Ph.D., C. Psych.
8:30am - 4:00pm May 29, 2020
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This practical workshop, led by Dr. Robert T. Muller, a leading expert on trauma therapy and globally-acclaimed author of the psychotherapy bestseller: Trauma & the Avoidant Client–is aimed at building your understanding of the psychotherapeutic relationship with challenging clients, particularly trauma clients. All clients present with some degree of traumatic affect, making this workshop suitable for all practitioners.
While many of us try to maintain a good therapeutic relationship, this can be difficult. Trauma clients struggle to trust the therapist; many minimize their own traumatic experiences, or become help-rejecting. Others rush into the work, seeking a “quick fix,” despite a long history of interpersonal trauma.
Through the lens of attachment theory, using a relational, integrative approach, Dr. Muller follows the ups and downs of the therapy relationship with trauma survivors. How do we tell when we’ve unknowingly compromised safety in the relationship? What happens to the relationship when clients or therapists rush into the process, and how can this be addressed? And how can subtle conflicts in the relationship become useful in treatment? Dr. Muller points to the different choices therapists make in navigating the relationship. In trauma therapy, those choices have a strong impact on outcome.
Recovering from trauma is a complicated process. When people reveal too much, too soon, they may feel worse. The pacing of therapy is critical. Here too, the key is in the therapist-client relationship. Dr. Muller walks you through the relational approaches that help pace the process of opening up – so that people find the experience helpful, not harmful.
Throughout the workshop, theory is complemented by case examples, practical exercises, and segments from Dr. Muller’s own treatment sessions. This workshop focuses on clinical skills that are directly applicable in your work as therapists. You will learn specific skills to ensure ethical practice with all clients.
