The Feeling-State Addiction Protocol Workshop

For EMDR trained therapists The Feeling-State Addiction Protocol webinar explains how positive feelings linked with behaviors, objects, or substances create behavioral and substance addictions. Behaviors as varied as gambling compulsions, sex addiction, codependence, and substance addiction can be created by a Feeling-State. Feeling-State Theory describes how and why positive feelings become fixated with behaviors and substances and how to identify the specific positive feeling that is linked with a person's dysfunctional behavior. The specific treatment considerations for the different types of compulsions and addictions are discussed.
