Here, the client substitutes the psychotherapist for the original parent. She now sees the psychotherapist as fulfilling a role in her script. But she experiences him as doing so in a more benign way than the actual parent did.
The client may experience considerable relief from child fears and anxieties now that she has this more benevolent parent to relate to.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Abuse Recovery.pdfDiscoveryPointRetrea
Individuals who come to treatment are often conflicted. Substance abuse has negatively impacted their lives, but they cannot imagine a better or different future without it. The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is to help individuals change their lives by placing more emphasis on things they need to value, rather than what their addiction is telling them to value.
CBT helps them envision how their lives would improve if they pursued aspirations aligned with their values. When individuals reflect on their values and aspirations, they can see their actions’ short-term and long-term effects. As a result, individuals are motivated to change old habits and adopt healthier lifestyles.

This powerpoint is part of AllCEU's Addiction Counselor Training Series. Part of the screening process involves not only identifying a possible problem, but helping the patient to identify it as a problem that they are willing to work on. Part of this process of motivational enhancement includes helping patients see there is an issue, that it is controllable or able to be dealt with and how it will help them achieve their goals. This powerpoint links to protocols for helping train clinicians in Motivational Enhancement Therapy. Each week we provide 8 hours of face-to-face continuing education and precertification training to LPCs, LADCs, and those wishing to become addiction counselors. Many states allow precertification to be done via online learning as well. We are approved education providers by NAADAC #599 and NBCC #6261
Resilience is the desired outcome of trauma focused therapy. We all naturally believe we are resilient and can handle anything. Most of the time we can logic or think through our circumstances and push aside emotions and beliefs in order to accomplish goals, survive and get by. Sometimes however, our experiences seem to have more power than we would like to admit and there seems to be a disconnect between what we logically know and what we actually feel. Trauma treatment bridges the gap between logic and the felt sense and helps individuals and families feel grounded.

Roots of Resiliency and Emotional Wellness - "Emotional wellness is rooted in different layers of connection and integration. These layers are interactive and multi-directional in adults. These connections occur on Neurobiological system, Intrapersonal/personality system, Interpersonal/relational system, Spiritual/system of meaning."
By: Daryush Parvinbenam M.A., M.Ed., LPCC-S, LICDC
Core of Trauma: "Despite the human capacity to survive and adapt, traumatic experiences can alter people's psychological, biological, and social equilibrium to such a degree that the memory of one particular event comes to taint all other experiences, spoiling appreciation of the present."
Experience Affects Brain Development
- Childhood is a time for learning (languages, music, motor skills most easily acquired)
- Number of synapses increases dramatically after birth
- Environment stimulated neuronal activity is critical for the elaboration of synaptic territories and "proper" connections
Alternative Therapies of Trauma By: Daryush Parvinbenam, LPCC-SDaryush Parvinbenam
The Hallmark of complex trauma is disconnection:
- neurobiological/psychological systems
- personality/self system
- relational system
- spiritual system

- This presentation does not suggest mindfulness practices should immediately replace current medication.
- A holistic model of treatment, as opposed to the current medical model, should be considered.
- Medication issues should be negotiated with the prescribing physician prior to discontinuation or change of medication.
- At least initially, in many cases, the combination of medication and alternative therapies seems to be the best possible option toward recovery for many people.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

COUNSELING STRATEGIES:
ACTION & MAINTENANCE
2. Changing and Maintaining Behavior Changes
Recovery from addictions requires lifestyle changes:
Development of new coping skills – cognitive, emotional, behavioral and
interpersonal skills to deal with problems
Replacement of addictive behaviors with different pleasurable
experiences and social rewards
Self-care and sense of purpose, meaning and spirituality in life
Recovery from addictions requires developing and working
with relapse prevention or maintenance plans
3. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Short-term approach; focuses on immediate problems;
flexible, individualized approach
Uses concepts from cognitive and behavioral theories of
human behavior
Central concepts: attributional styles; cognitive appraisals;
self-efficacy expectancies; substance-related expectancies;
“high risk” situations; coping skills and behaviors;
assessment of client’s cognitive functioning and coping
behaviors
4. CBT: Attributional Styles
Influence client’s perception of problems and recovery
Dimensions:
Internal / External
Global / Specific
Stable / Unstable
Examples:
I got drunk because I am weak
I got drunk because I was surrounded by people at the party who were
encouraging me drink
My failure to quit drinking shows that I am a weak person who can never
succeed at anything
Last night I didn’t use good coping skills and so I got drunk; if I work at
it, I could catch myself next time and use better coping skills to avoid
drinking
5. CBT: Cognitive Appraisal
A client’s assessment of what are stressful situations and
his ability to cope with the demands of this situation
client’s perception of situation regarding level of stress, personal
challenge or threat involved
client’s evaluation of his ability to meet the challenges specific to the
situation – influenced by his coping skills
If client believes he has the cognitive, emotional and
behavioral coping skills to meet the challenge of the
situation, he will feel less threatened, less stressful and
more able to succeed
6. CBT: Expectancies - Self
Self-efficacy: belief can successfully use coping skills
Determined by repertoire of coping skills and
appraisal of relative effectiveness of own coping
skills in relation to specific situation
Lack of necessary coping skills low self-efficacy
beliefs negative, distorted thoughts about self
and situation reduced motivation to even try to
cope may feel depressed and perceive himself as
hopeless drinks or uses drugs
7. CBT: Expectancies – substance-related effects
Beliefs about anticipated effects of alcohol or drug on his
feelings or behaviors – idea that certain effects result from
alcohol or drug use
Positive effects – relaxation, euphoria, social or sexual
facilitation, tension reduction, escape from problems
Negative effects – physical impairment, anxiety,
depression, paranoia, condemnation from family, getting
into fights, guilt, sense of personal failure
8. CBT: High-Risk Situations
Situational contexts ( people, places, feelings, activities) can
serve as cues that elicit strong craving or desire to use
Interpersonal (interactions with others – negative or
positive)
Intrapersonal (feelings, beliefs, perceptions, physiological
conditions – either negative or positive)
High-risk situations must be understood in individual
terms
9. CBT: Coping Behaviors
What a client does to stay sober or clean; what he does to
handle risks to drink or use irresponsibly
If client lacks skills to cope with their interpersonal, social, emotional
and personal problems, then these problems are likely to be
viewed as threatening and unsolvable
Client drinks or uses to deal (or avoid) these problems and the feelings
caused by the problems
Two behavioral coping approaches:
Avoid situations previously associated with drinking or using drugs
Seek social support when confronted with temptation to drink or use
Two cognitive coping approaches:
Anticipating the negative consequences of drinking or using
Thinking about the benefits that come from being sober and clean
10. CBT: Assess Cognitive Functioning and Coping Skills
Must gather specific information about client’s high-risk
situations – those where he drinks / uses and those where
he survived the relapse crisis
Include both intrapersonal and interpersonal triggers to use
Must assess consequences of drinking and using episodes
Must assess expectancies – self-efficacy beliefs, and drug-
expectancies
Must assess client’s cognitive appraisal and attributional
style
Must assess repertoire of coping skills – both deficits and
strengths
11. Assess Cognitive Functioning
A + B C
antecedents beliefs consequences
(activating (appraisals,
situations, life expectancies,
events) attributions)
D E

12. Substance-using Beliefs-1
Core Beliefs Emotions Addictive Beliefs
“I am trapped/ Sad or angry “Drugs offer escape”
alone”
“I am undesirable” “Drugs make me more
sociable”
Addictive Behavior
Go to a crack house
13. Substance-using beliefs-2
Activating Situation Anticipatory Beliefs Craving
Drug-seeking Permissive Beliefs
Plan of Action
Example:
Social Situation “I will feel better if… Craving
Call friend “It’s OK now”
with stash
14. Substance-using Beliefs-3
Activating Beliefs Automatic Craving/urges
Stimulus activated Thoughts
Internal Cues
External Cues
Feeling sad “If I take a fix “What the hell” Craving
I will feel better”
Continued Focus on strategies Facilitating
Use / relapse (action) Beliefs
(permission)
Purchase / use Look around for “ I can do it this
drugs money time without any
harm”
15. CBT: Interventions
Work with the client to help him monitor cycle of
antecedents, beliefs and consequences in drug use
Work with the client to develop relapse preventions
plans (action and maintenance) plans based on
information obtained
Teach new coping skills – both cognitive and specific
behavioral skills
Help the client practice skills in counseling – either
in individual or group counseling
Work with client to modify plans if he slips –
incorporate new skills as needed
16. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Counseling interventions are tools that help the client take
charge of their behavior and make changes (action and
maintenance).
Initially the client learns how to use these tools in session,
but the goal is for the client to use the tools outside the
session.
This process is called SKILL GENERALIZATION.
17. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Self monitoring
Help the client identify how behaviors, thoughts, and
emotions link together or interact with the client’s
pattern of drug use.
Help the client learn to monitor her behavior, including
what she does, when, and why she may do it, what she
thinks, how she feels, and eventually how she can
respond differently.
Help the client identify how one behavior links to
emotional responses and vice versa.
18. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Cognitive Modification Strategies
Address client beliefs that contribute to drug use behavior
Investigate the client’s “cognitive expectancies” (beliefs) and teach
them to challenge those beliefs and promote active cognitive
evaluation about the natural consequences of drug use behavior
before actually engaging in it.
Teach clients to alter distorted perceptions and thoughts through use
of thought stopping and urge surfing.
19. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Expectancy Challenges
The clients’ expectancies about drug use could present a
road block to behavior change. It is crucial to teach clients
how to challenge these expectancies.
Present information to your clients that may contradict or
refute the existing beliefs about effects of drug use.
Be careful not to lecture or preach, and try not to put the
client on the defensive when presenting the information.
Example:
20. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
“Hypothesis testing”: In this method, the client learns how to
view his or her beliefs as a hypothesis that needs to be
examined rather than an unquestionable fact.
Example:
A similar strategy called “data collection” teaches the client to
gather evidence to support and refute his or her beliefs about
drug use.
Example:
21. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Examining consequences
Help clients identify how certain beliefs or behaviors have lead to
drug use.
Explore how clients’ behavior might be different, if they believed
differently about the situation. This can empower clients to consider
that they may be able to change their behavior, if they change their
thinking.
Have clients walk through natural consequences of their behavior.
This helps the client to stop automatic, and unexamined behavior.
Have clients walk down (imagine) the full length of the behavior
chain, in order to see a likely risk outcome to what initially seemed
like an innocent act.
Example:
22. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
A similar technique is called “playing the tape to the end”. This
technique is used during active craving.
The client is taught to use this technique while they are
experiencing craving. In this technique, client will imagine
what will happen if they act on the craving and urges. They will
walk themselves through change of events that will follow, and
the negative consequences/pain they will have to face, if they
listen to current using tape.
23. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Thought stopping
Many times these clients are faced with ruminating/obsessive
thoughts. They may describe that their mind wanders, spins,
or races out of control with negative thoughts related to
personal short comings, regrets, of the past, put downs or
doubts, or using thoughts. This technique will help the client to
stop these sabotaging thoughts.
1- Saying “STOP” out loud.
2- Imagine the word “S-T-O-P” in their mind.
3- Imagine a stop sign or stop light that will break the cycle of
negative thought.
4 - Use physical stimulus – “rubber band”
24. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Skill Development: Problem solving and
planning
Help clients define problems, learn brain storming, and
select the most appropriate solution.
Help clients learn to think a head by setting goals, and
mapping strategies to reach the goals. Outline the logical
sequences of events which need to happen in order for
them to reach their desired goals.
25. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Coping Skills training
Skills training begins with assessing the current level of
client skills to determine whether he or she has the skills
necessary to successfully cope with a particular situation
or successfully complete a task without drug use.
The client may have failed in certain situations to avoid
drug use or may have avoided using coping skills
The counselor will help the client to explore and develop
new coping mechanisms for situations where they have
failed to cope without drugs.
26. Counseling Strategies: Specific Tools
Examples of coping skills training:
Relapse management skills (thoughts, cravings, refusals)
