“…To understand the relevance of working with idealization in EMDR, it is important to develop an understanding of memory processing in a wider sense. Therapists need to not only consider as dysfunctionally stored memories those that encompassed negative events, but also those that included dysfunctional positive affect ( Knipe, 2010 ; Mosquera and Knipe, 2017 ; Mosquera, 2022 ).…”

“…This will be done in function of its accessibility, the patient’s preference, and what they consider safer ( Mosquera and Knipe, 2017 ). Aspects of the addictive memory that may be processed include: desensitizing the urgency to start the addictive behavior ( Popky, 2005 ; Hase, 2006 ); targeting the positive sensation that accompanies the addictive behavior ( Popky, 1995 ; Knipe, 1998 , 2005 , 2010 ; Miller, 2010 ); desensitizing the anxiety and shame that comes after engaging in the dysfunctional compulsive behavior ( Greenwald, 2000 ); or targeting relapses in addiction ( Hase, 2006 ).…”

The Break-Up Aid Procedure (BUAP) is a proposed EMDR intervention designed to address the difficulties that some patients experience when trying to overcome a complex break-up. The procedure aims to not only target the consequences of the break-up, but also the difficulties that may be present in starting a new relationship. The latter is often the case when there are either unresolved consequences from the previous break-up or untreated early adverse experiences. By structuring the treatment in three sequential stages (outlined in this article) and including interventions and adaptations to the standard EMDR protocol, we aim to facilitate the clinician’s therapeutic approach to intervening for this specific presenting concern and maximizing success.

“…While studies using EMDR therapy to treat SUDs have theoretically informed clinical practice, 41 - 52 a gap in research exists supporting its efficacy, considering that there have only been 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). 53 - 55 Nonetheless, the promising prospect of using EMDR therapy to treat SUDs has generated 4 different addiction-specific EMDR therapy protocols: the desensitization of triggers and urge reprocessing (DeTUR) protocol, 56 , 57 (an urge reduction protocol that targets the triggers that bring up uncomfortable feelings leading to urges), the craving extinguished (CravEx) approach, 58 (focuses on the reprocessing of the addiction memory leading to stabilization in the addiction), an approach on dysfunctional positive affect, 59 (targets the dysfunctional positive affect associated with a behavior or person that can block access to a traumatic memory), and the feeling-state addiction protocol (FSAP 60 ) (a modified form of EMDR therapy that breaks the fixation of a positive feeling event associated with an addictive behavior).…”

“…A quasi experimental study 43 assessed the effectiveness of combined standard EMDR therapy and AF-EMDR therapy in treating posttraumatic and stress-related symptoms in 40 patients with SUDs. This study implemented the standard EMDR therapy protocol and AF-EMDR therapy protocols (CravEx, 58 an approach on dysfunctional positive affect, 59 FSAP, 60 and DeTUR 56 , 57 ) in accordance with the PEIA. The TAU and EMDR therapy group in this study showed a significant reduction in posttraumatic, dissociative, psychiatric, and anxiety symptoms, whereas the TAU group showed a significant decrease in only posttraumatic symptoms.…”

Evidence indicating the relationship between trauma and substance use disorders (SUDs), in addition to relapse and treatment retention rates for this population, suggests there is a need for a trauma-focused solution to treat SUDs. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been studied extensively as an effective approach for treating trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The research evaluating its treatment for other mental health disorders such as SUDs is promising. Merging mindfulness and ethical mindfulness practices with EMDR therapy lends additional evidence-based elements to make the case for this integrative system of treatment to be studied as a trauma-focused primary psychotherapy to treat SUDs. The resulting treatment, the MET(T)A Protocol (Mindfulness and EMDR Treatment Template for Agencies), has been created to address the need for a trauma-focused solution to treat SUDs. Procedures of the MET(T)A Protocol as applied in each of the 8 phases of EMDR therapy are described in detail. Clinical examples are provided to explain the application of the MET(T)A Protocol.
