To prepare for the training you might like to read/listen to some excellent books, watch some movies or TedX talks

BOOKS:

1. Addiction, Attachment, Trauma and Recovery: The Power of Connection” by Oliver J. Morgan (excellent)
2. In the Realm Of Hungry Ghosts: Close encounters with addiction by Gabor Mate’ (excellent)
3. The Biology of Desire: Why addiction is not a disease by Marc Lewis
4. Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary Way of Understanding Addiction by Maia Szalavitz
5. Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis & Larry Sloman
   Of books about heroin use, none is rawer than this bravely told memoir about the life of Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis.

1. Published in 2004, Scar Tissue holds immense value for as a cautionary tale for anyone prone to glamourizing drug use, especially heroin use.

• Wire Mothers: Harry Harlow and the Science of Love by Jim Ottaviani & Dylan Meconis
  1. Harlow was a psychologist and he “was a deeply unhappy man who knew in his gut the truth about what love — and its absence — meant, and set about to prove it. His experiments and results shocked the world, and Wire Mothers & Inanimate Arms will shock you as well.”)

MOVIES:

1. “Trainspotting” – its a gritty, real-life depiction of addiction. It’s not for the faint-hearted.
2. “The Man with The Golden Arm” a 1955 film with Frank Sinatra in the lead role.
3. “Flight” with Denzel Washington in the lead role. There’s a scene in a hotel room which is so well done. This movie must have been written by someone who knows addiction from the inside.

TedX talk

1. –Everything you know about addiction is wrong. TED talk by Johann Hari  (I don’t actually agree with all he says, though it is interesting information)
   1. https://www.ted.com/talks/johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_know_about_addiction_is_wrong?language=en

Seminar Overview:

Who this training is for:

• It is assumed attendees work in the field of Addiction Recovery and have a basic or greater knowledge of the addiction field, and experience with clients who have addiction issues.
• It is assumed you are trauma-informed in your work, and preferably have specific training in trauma therapies.

The BSP & ADDICTIONS training with the Crocodile Set Up, will introduce participants to the enormously successful “BSP Crocodile set up” (a Double Spot + Single Spot) to help their addicted clients stop urges & cravings quickly, through brain changes, and then imagine their future free of the addiction. This gives the addict a big advantage in achieving sobriety.

I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THIS ONLINE Via ZOOM

The training will also introduce:

1. Various experts views on the definition of Addiction
2. Addiction as Emotional Regulation
3. Addiction & ACEs connections
4. Addiction as an attempt at Secure Attachment
5. Reasons for teaching resources before using Crocodile Set Up
6. Which Phase of Treatment to Use Crocodile Set Up
7. Neuroscience of addiction and neuroscience driving addiction relapse
8. The Benefit of Narrative therapy for addiction treatment

WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR INVESTMENT:

1. 12 hours of Powerpoint, discussions, Q & A (3 hours per day over 4 days)
2. A.pdf copy of Powerpoint slides to print out for yourself to use during the training
3. You will also be emailed a .pdf copy of The Crocodile Metaphor and Origin Story which you can print out and read to your clients if you choose to.
4. I will do a live demonstration via ZOOM of the full” Crocodile Set Up” – The Double Spot + The Expansion Spot – divided into 2 separate demos to provide a very clear demonstration of all facets of the Crocodile Set Up and how to do it online with your client
5. You will be paired up with another attendee and together you will do the practicum online with your partner, one session as the client, and another as the therapist, for each of the Double Spot Set Up and then also the Expansion Spot Set up.

After this training, participants will be able to:

1. Name and explain why areas in the brain of the addict are disconnected
2. Understand the value of metaphor, story-telling, and the narrative therapy technique of ‘externalizing the problem’, in addiction recovery
3. Use a well-developed metaphor – ‘The Crocodile’, to externalize their client’s addiction and allow a good trusting alliance/connection with the therapist
4. Use Brainspotting in “The Crocodile Set Up” OVER A TELEHEALTH PLATFORM to help addicted clients prevent relapse and move forward into the resolution of traumas and other issues which drive the addiction
