Guest Presenter, Megan Salar

LCSW, ACADC, CCTP-II, EMDR-C, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in treating trauma and addiction.

This 1-hour EMDR webinar focuses on integrating *Addiction Recovery* concepts into EMDR therapy, emphasizing the development of the *positive feeling state* and the *sober self* as anchors for healing and relapse prevention. Participants will explore how addictive urges are often linked to maladaptive memory networks and how EMDR can help rewire these patterns by activating the client’s innate capacity for self-regulation and reward satisfaction.
