MET(T)A PROTOCOL

Mindfulness & EMDR Treatment Template for Agencies

323-248-7475 X5

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.

Confidently Sitting with Trauma: A Workshop for New Therapists

Building confidence, community, and competence in trauma therapy

Saturday, Jan 11th, 2025
9AM - 12:30PM

$200 (fully licensed)

As a new therapist, the transition from graduate school to real-world practice can feel isolating and overwhelming—especially when facing trauma in the therapy room. While theory and technique are helpful, nothing quite prepares you for the reality of sitting with clients who have experienced trauma, whether it's big, small or complex.

This workshop is designed to help newly licensed clinicians or those in the final stages of their graduate training gain confidence and practical skills when working with trauma. Beyond the foundational knowledge, you'll also build a network of peers who understand your journey and get support from seasoned therapists who have been where you are now.

Key Benefits:

  • Build Confidence: Learn and practice skills to stay grounded when trauma comes up in therapy.

  • Practical Techniques: Gain tools to create a safe space for clients without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Network & Support: Connect with fellow new therapists for ongoing support and guidance.

  • Prepare for Specialization: Learn how to identify when it's time to deepen your trauma training with EMDR or other advanced techniques.

Why This Workshop?

For many new clinicians, trauma feels intimidating. Without the right tools and support, it’s easy to feel insecure about your ability to help. Our workshop is designed to give you confidence—not just theory—so you can sit with clients in their most vulnerable moments, while also building connections with peers and mentors.

This workshop is also an affordable entry point into specialized trauma training like EMDR, giving you a foundation to build on as your practice grows.

Workshop Structure:

  1. Introduction to Trauma Therapy (Basics and Neuroscience)

    • Understanding the impact of trauma on the brain and how to support clients safely.

  2. Practicing Presence with Trauma Clients

    • Exploring trauma scenarios and learning to stay grounded.

    • Techniques for creating safety and trust in trauma-informed therapy.

  3. Confidence Building & Professional Reflection

    • Group discussions on managing insecurities, handling emotional triggers, and setting boundaries.

  4. Networking & Next Steps

    • Facilitated networking sessions to foster ongoing support.

    • Information on advanced trauma training options, like EMDR, with exclusive discounts for attendees.

Who Should Attend?

  • Newly licensed clinicians (AMFTs, APCCs, ACSWs)

  • Graduate students finishing practicum or internship

  • Early career therapists wanting to build confidence in trauma work

Continuing Education: As this is an introductory workshop and community-based learning experience, CEs are not available for this event. However, our EMDR trainings carry 42 CEs should you decide to continue your training journey with us as trauma therapists.

Incentive for Attendees: All registrants will receive 15% off code (worth $195) to use for future EMDR trainings with StartAgain Associates (calendar HERE).

Presenting - 2020 EMDRIA Conference (now online!)

I am excited to be presenting at the now fully virtual EMDRIA 2020 Conference on October 3rd, Saturday, 9am-10:30am PDT on The Role of Spirituality in Trauma Wounding and The Healing of EMDR Therapy. Trauma results in spiritual wounding as it can fracture the survivor’s spiritual connection, core beliefs, values, and sense of meaning and purpose. This loss in spirituality can manifest in disorders such as complex PTSD, PTSD, and addiction. The Standard 8 Phase Protocol and the AIP Model of EMDR therapy are best practices for assessing and treating wounds that are spiritual in nature within these diagnoses. I am excited to present on this topic and I look forward to you joining me at this virtual, interactive experience in October.

• Keynote Presentation: Clinical Dharma: Mindfulness-Based Resources to Adequately Regulate Stress in Adolescents and Young Adults - and Those That Provide Their Care

I am also presenting two breakout workshops:

• Workshop #1: Mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, and EMDR Therapy: Treating Adolescents and Young Adults Through a Trauma-Focused Lens

• Workshop #2: Anger is an Energy! Mindfulness-Based Strategies to Normalize and Manage Anger in Adolescents and Young Adults

Join me in Las Vegas on April 23rd to learn about how to implement these effective treatment approaches for all the young people seeking these ancient and modern modalities.

3/27/20 - Zoom Talk: Mindfulness, EMDR Therapy and Telehealth: Lessons from the MET(T)A Protocol

March 27, 2020
9AM to 10:15AM (Pacific)
1-hour of training followed by 15-minutes of Q&A

Those who practice EMDR therapy (and a number of other trauma therapy modalities) have been amongst the most reticent to consider telehealth, and with very understandable arguments. Working directly on traumatic memories with a client who is not in the same room as you, from a safety perspective as well as related to the more complex and nuanced realities of the relational element of therapy, is a daunting prospect for many.

EMDR therapy using telehealth may become easier to accomplish when:

• Mindfulness is in place and Buddhist psychology provides a foundation
• Janet’s three stage model of trauma treatment is honored
• The 8 phase Standard Protocol is our basic structure for practice of EMDR
• The Adaptive Information Processing model provides the guideposts
• Cases are conceptualized through these models, principles and practices
• Modifications are made for telehealth primarily in the realm of safety, resource building, stabilization, preparation, choice of bilateral stimulation, and case conceptualization.

With all these in place the choice of platform and other technology becomes more of a simple logistical shift than an item of hyperfocus, or as a reason to panic and believe we need to change everything we have learned up until now. Modifications and innovation have already been in progress, and others will be made manifest. However, we do not have to reinvent the proverbial wheel.

https://zoom.us/j/698538093
The first 100 people will be able to join.

Please come to this free webinar. There will be experiential mindfulness opportunities, a review of some best mindfulness practices for telehealth delivery, and education regarding leveraging EMDR as a Complete Psychotherapy in structuring telehealth trauma treatment.

Talk for Roots Through Recovery: Resilience in Your Clients Begins with Resilience in You

A critical aspect of trauma treatment is recognizing the inherent resilience within survivors of trauma and enhancing it. Fostering resilience within survivors helps to stabilize them, promotes adaptive responses to adversity, and provides them with the capacity to transition from surviving to thriving. Mindfulness is a foundation for resilience as it produces emotional regulation, buffers against getting overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and changes one’s relationship and reaction to adversity. In order to enhance resilience within clients, the mental health care professional must foster it first within themselves, through building their own mindfulness practice. As the mental health care professional cultivates their own mindfulness practice, they become a mirror and a model for the client to begin exploring their own path towards resilience.

I will be delivering a talk at Roots Through Recovery on February 26th discussing these crucial components of trauma treatment. The presentation will distinguish the importance of building resources for the mental health care professional and for the client, illustrate the significance of cultivating inherent strengths as a critical element of trauma treatment, and identify mindfulness skills and Buddhist psychology principles related to the manifestation of resilience.

Nov 6th - Webinar: Beyond Trauma-Informed Care: The MET(T)A Protocol

C4 and I will be hosting a webinar on Beyond Trauma-Informed Care: The MET(T)A Protocol. This webinar will make the case for the move from trauma-informed care to trauma-focused care by applying EMDR therapy as a complete psychotherapy instead of as a technique or approach, with mindfulness as a stabilizing anchor for treatment effects and Buddhist psychology as a philosophical system to treat mental health disorders.

The mental health treatment field has made great strides in recognizing the role that trauma plays in presenting problems and disorders by providing trauma-informed care. However, considering the widespread impact that trauma has on survivors, simply realizing this impact, recognizing the symptoms of trauma, and responding to them is not enough to heal the damage done. The disorders that can manifest from surviving a trauma, such as PTSD, major depressive disorder, substance use disorders, and eating disorders and the risky behaviors that trauma triggers such as self-injurious behaviors, promiscuity, or isolation, in addition to the life-changing decisions that result from it such as suicide, speaks for the need for the vital move from trauma-informed care to trauma-focused care that the mental health field must make in order to ethically and effectively treat trauma.

Trauma-focused care assumes that unhealed trauma plays a major role in presenting issues, denotes greater action in the delivery of treatment services, and promotes proactive treatment planning to heal the legacy of trauma. The MET(T)A Protocol (Mindfulness and EMDR Treatment Template for Agencies) provides the trauma-focused solution that survivors of trauma need to find long-lasting recovery. The MET(T)A Protocol is a new and innovative way to envision and implement agency mental health treatment that is grounded in the over 30 years of research, theory, and practice of EMDR therapy, as well as the 2600 years of practice of Buddhist psychology of Mindfulness. It honors the current belief that there is a deep need for trauma resolution to be a key focus of treatment to strengthen relapse prevention and create sustainable long-term recovery.

Oct 17-18, Memphis: EMDR Therapy in the Treatment of Addictions - The MET(T)A Protocol

This advanced training workshop showcases the healing that is possible when combining the frameworks of both Buddhist psychology and EMDR therapy to create a primary clinical practice rubric for those struggling from addiction and addictive behaviors. Case studies and demonstration videos will be utilized to show how the MET(T)A Protocol – Mindfulness and EMDR Treatment Template for Agencies – can be utilized to create a trauma-focused environment to heal those within private practice and outpatient settings as well as residential treatment centers. Participants will be guided to understanding the importance of developing their own mindfulness practices within a MET(T)A Protocol trauma-focused paradigm, and the development and practice of personal mindfulness exercises will be encouraged. The workshop concludes with concrete examples of how treatment centers, outpatient clinics and private practices alike can utilize the scaffolding of the MET(T)A Protocol for assessment, treatment planning, and improved treatment outcomes.

U.S. Journal Training, Inc. is presenting its 10th Western Conference on Behavioral Health and Addictive Disorders September 26-28, 2019, in Newport Beach, CA. I am looking forward to presenting on EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma-Focused Care and Buddhist Psychology, Trauma–Focused Care, and Addiction Treatment. Opening keynote on Thursday morning will come from Bessel van der Kolk and Janina Fisher, which will set the tone for what should be an amazing conference. Please check out my presentations below - and hope to see you there!

Friday, September, 27, 2:00pm - 3:30pm
EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma-Focused Care

This presentation combines the wisdom of Buddha, Pierre Janet, modern mindfulness teachers and Dr. Francine Shapiro, providing a new way of envisioning trauma-focused care. We will focus most directly on the infusion of Mindfulness practices into EMDR therapy in all 8 phases of the standard protocol, as described in the book EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for TraumaFocused Care by Dr. Dansiger and Jamie Marich. It is appropriate and of interest both for EMDR trained and non-EMDR trained therapists.

Friday, September 27, 4:00pm - 5:30pm
Workshop: Buddhist Psychology, Trauma–Focused Care, and Addiction Treatment:

This presentation combines the wisdom of Buddha, Pierre Janet, modern mindfulness teachers and Dr. Francine Shapiro, providing a new way of envisioning trauma-focused care. 2600 years ago the historical Buddha proposed and transmitted a complete psychology over his 45 years of teaching. Pierre Janet’s 3 Stage Model of Trauma Treatment provides the bridge from Buddhist psychology to proactive treatment of trauma and addiction today. Now integrated as the MET(T)A Protocol (Mindfulness and EMDR Treatment Template for Addictions), this holistic approach to treatment is now beginning to be used as a comprehensive treatment system at several addiction treatment centers, mental health agencies and in private practices as well. This workshop is appropriate and of interest both for EMDR trained and non-EMDR trained therapists.

This presentation combines the wisdom of Buddha, Pierre Janet, modern mindfulness teachers and Dr. Francine Shapiro, providing a new way of envisioning trauma-focused care. We will focus most directly on the infusion of Mindfulness practices into EMDR therapy in all 8 phases of the standard protocol, as described in the book EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma Focused Care by Dr. Dansiger and Jamie Marich.

Workshop: Buddhist Psychology, Trauma-Focused Care, and Addiction Treatment:

This presentation combines the wisdom of Buddha, Pierre Janet, modern mindfulness teachers and Dr. Francine Shapiro, providing a new way of envisioning trauma-focused care. 2600 years ago the historical Buddha proposed and transmitted a complete psychology over his 45 years of teaching. Pierre Janet’s 3 Stage Model of Trauma Treatment provides the bridge from Buddhist psychology to proactive treatment of trauma and addiction today. Now integrated as the MET(T)A Protocol (Mindfulness and EMDR Treatment Template for Addictions), this holistic approach to treatment is now beginning to be used as a comprehensive treatment system at several addiction treatment centers, mental health agencies and in private practices as well.

Aug 1-2, Chicago: EMDR Therapy in the Treatment of Addictions - The MET(T)A Protocol

This advanced training workshop showcases the healing that is possible when combining the frameworks of both Buddhist psychology and EMDR therapy to create a primary clinical practice rubric for those struggling from addiction and addictive behaviors. Case studies and demonstration videos will be utilized to show how the MET(T)A Protocol – Mindfulness and EMDR Treatment Template for Agencies – can be utilized to create a trauma-focused environment to heal those within private practice and outpatient settings as well as residential treatment centers. Participants will be guided to understanding the importance of developing their own mindfulness practices within a MET(T)A Protocol trauma-focused paradigm, and the development and practice of personal mindfulness exercises will be encouraged. The workshop concludes with concrete examples of how treatment centers, outpatient clinics and private practices alike can utilize the scaffolding of the MET(T)A Protocol for assessment, treatment planning, and improved treatment outcomes.

August 1-2, 2019 in Palos Heights, IL (Chicago, IL area) from  9:00am - 4:30pm CST.

May 31: 10th Annual West Coast Symposium on Addictive Disorders

Dr. Stephen Dansiger and Executive Director Dr. Holly Daniels will present together for the first time at the 10th Annual West Coast Symposium on Addictive Disorders on Friday, May 31, 2019: 8:30AM – 10:00AM.  Dr. Dansiger and Dr. Daniels both possess the same passion for treating substance use disorders as the chronic conditions that they are. Their presentation highlights the necessity of integrating mindfulness and trauma-informed modalities with the implementation of long-term treatment and lifestyle support as outlined in the Surgeon General’s (2016) report in order to treat substance use disorders with integrity.

Please check out our presentation below—we hope to see you there!

Friday, May 31, 2019: 8:30AM – 10:00AM 

KEYNOTE: Beyond Mindfulness and Trauma Informed Care—Instituting Long Term, Systemized Treatment Protocols to Support Life Long, Sustainable Recovery 

Treatment for substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors continues to evolve. Mindfulness practices are now widely used in all types of treatment settings, and accreditation and government agencies now mandate that treatment include trauma- informed modalities. Although these changes have been positive and have helped many, long-term recovery rates are still low, especially 2 to 3 years out of treatment. This session will outline the importance of integrating trauma-focused protocols with long- term lifestyle support to help clients capitalize on gains and avoid self-sabotage.

KEYNOTE - Anger and Authentic Strength: Mindfulness for Anger Management

We generally equate anger with destruction, fear and chaos, but anger is often a life-saving emotion that stems from trauma and adverse life experiences. With the use of mindfulness strategies, anger can be seen as a powerful teacher and guide that can lead us to productive, life-affirming insights and healthier relationships. In this session we will discuss the pros and cons of anger. We will dissect the ways in which anger leads to both ‘acting out’ and ‘acting in’ impulses and behaviors. And we will explore the transformation of anger into compassion, equanimity and loving kindness. Dr. Dansiger is the author of Mindfulness for Anger Management: Transformative Skills for Overcoming Anger and Managing Powerful Emotions.

Evolution of Addiction Treatment Conference

January 24-27, 2019

The Evolution of Addiction Treatment Conference in Los Angeles brings the most forward-thinking and effective therapeutic approaches to treatment professionals.

Innovative and cutting-edge keynotes and a forum that encourages professional dialogue and creative treatment approaches sets this conference apart.

I am excited to be presenting on Friday, January 25th at 2:00pm:

Moving from Trauma Informed to Trauma Focused Care: A Mindfulness Based Multi-Modal Approach: Addictions treatment has come a long way over the centuries, particularly since the advent of Alcoholics Anonymous of 80 years ago. For the past 2,600 years, Buddhist Mindfulness and the therapies and practices it has brought about have contributed to psychological and spiritual relief to millions of people. Over the last 25 years, our understanding and the treatment of trauma related disorders and difficulties have progressed, with Francine Shapiro’s development in EMDR therapy. The understanding of the link between traumatic experiences and the difficulties and suffering of alcoholics and addicts have grown. SAMSHA and other clinical bodies have indicated the need for additions treatment to follow the principles of trauma-informed care. This presentation will make clear the theory and research behind the development and implementation of both mindfulness and EMDR Therapy through case studies and anecdotal evidence of how this model is progressing, with recommendations for further research and practice.

CEs available (more info here).

I’m also excited to be signing copies of my newest book Mindfulness for Anger Management: Transformative Skills for Overcoming Anger and Managing Powerful Emotions in the bookstore after my talk at 2PM.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Presenting at the 2018 International EMDRIA Conference

  • Hilton Downtown Atlanta (map)

I am quite excited and grateful to be presenting two times at the 2018 EMDRIA Conference in Atlanta on October 4th through 7th, 2018. In addition to presenting about the Mindful EMDR Therapist with my colleague and coauthor Jamie Marich, I also have the opportunity to present on Buddhist Psychology, EMDR Therapy and Addictions. This presentation on the MET(T)A Protocol updates my presentation from 2016 EMDRIA International Conference in Minneapolis, and further highlights how this type of integration may help in creating systemic change in the delivery of services.

October 4th through 7th, 2018
Hilton Downtown Atlanta, Atlanta, GA

In 2016, I had only really begun putting MET(T)A into action at Refuge Recovery Centers. The fact that the presentation resonated with so many at that time helped me to continue with the work. It was also at that conference that Springer Publishing signed Jamie and I to our contract to write EMDR Therapy and Mindfulness for Trauma Focused Care.

At the 2018 EMDRIA Conference, Jamie and myself, the Institute for Creative Mindfulness, and StartAgain will all be well represented and our message of the power of the Standard Protocol delivered with mindfulness in the service of powerful trauma-focused care can take its next steps toward the easing of suffering for many beings.

Presenting at Santa Barbara CAMFT Chapter Meeting - Buddhist Psychology and Trauma Focused Treatment for Addictions

I am looking forward to sharing with the Santa Barbara chapter of CAMFT on Buddhist Informed and Trauma Focused treatments for addiction. My observation continues to be that there is quite the hunger, quite the thirst for this information, and presentations like this help me to let people know what may be possible. This includes Buddhist based interventions like Refuge Recovery and the MET(T)A Protocol, and an integration with EMDR therapy with a focus on trauma resolution. My hope is that not only will people find their way to utilizing these modalities in their office, but also through MET(T)A will find ways to re-imagine addiction treatment and improve the delivery of services.
