iCAAD LONDON 2019 - A STORY OF HOPE This year, iCAAD London is about the realisation of challenging times both at a collective and an individual level. It is also about the hope and the faith that we, Human Beings, the one species with consciousness and adaptability, with creativity and curiosity, can and are facing the challenges.

The resounding theme for this year’s London conference is hope, in the words of one of our Keynote Speakers Dr Claudia Black, “I hang onto hope because I see it”.

No matter what the methodology, treatment, model, programme, belief or clinical approach - all who gather together at iCAAD are that hope. Hope for the future of the prevention and treatment of behavioural, mental and emotional health issues; the continuum of recovery; quality of life, and the healing of individuals and families because they see it and experience it, collectively shaping the future.

We deeply want this event to be a shared moment of humanity, weaving together a combination of topics to provoke dialogue, discussion, debate, conversation, exchange of information, mutual learning and progression.

We will tell a story of opposing perspectives seen through a multidimensional and universal lens, from global fear and pain to the most intimate human detail. It’s a story of cutting edge neuroscience and new therapeutic models, where the biochemical, psychological, spiritual and cultural meet the destructive forces of loneliness, the private hell on earth of isolation and lack of connection and the reverberations of trauma across the world and across generations.

Our story will unite the mind with the body, the theory with the experience, the medical science-based mythology with its causal simplification into pathology, disease, or illness, with experience and emotion, seeking how to become, and better understand, our best selves.

Could it be that depression, burn out, addiction, PTSD, border line disorders, bi-polar, sexual compulsion and many more are true facets of a complex polygon, the polygon of the mind, hiding something much more profound?

Our story will give a narrative voice to the future generations: our world is increasingly operating with a millennial’s value system. They now make up more than 35% of the workforce. It is time for psychology to adapt. It is about handing over what we do not know, addressing it with a shared perspective and walking with them into our future.

We will look at fear and pain from a global and societal perspective to enrich the clinical pathologised vision of them. At any given moment, not only are there over two hundred human conflicts in the world, but they knock at our mind’s door through billions of web pages and dramatic images, opinionated subjective commentaries infusing the experience with depressing and dramatised fears. And that’s before we even consider how the developing adolescent brain deals with such information. In all areas, we can look to the rich knowledge and history of those who have been before, to shape what is yet to come.

“We are all afraid - for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination.

Yet every man, every civilisation, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do. The personal commitment and the emotional commitment working together as one, has made the Ascent of Man”.

Professor Jacob Bronowsky We invite you to walk with our presenters rather than to listen to them. We invite you to join the dots, to look at things not only for what they are but for how they interact, to open your minds with the consciousness, imagination, hope, pain, fear and courage which is our unique humanity.

In the words of our Headline Speaker Dr Tian Dayton, “Everyone has a story and everyone needs a stage”. iCAAD London is a stage where everybody is welcome. We hope you will join us and be part of this story of humanity.

SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION JUDY CRANE AND TOM PECCA A MASTER CLASS ON DYADIC ATTACHMENT AND EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING FOR THE TRAUMA HEART MASTER CLASS DETAILS:

A rare opportunity with ‘The Trauma Heart’ author Judy Crane and Tom Pecca, both world renowned experts in the treatment of trauma. Judy and Tom have trained and certified therapists around the world.

This masterclass in trauma treatment and trauma work focuses on strategies to help our clients break the Cycle of Trauma using effective evidence-based strategies. It will be a highly practical experience, enabling the opportunity for participants to practice in a simulated environment, exploring what is required of us as clinicians and the roadblocks that get in the way of helping our clients as clinicians and healers. The most important thing is to mirror, model and witness and it is in that process we can then as professionals help to heal attachment disorder.

This is a thorough and holistic experience based on dyadic attachment and experiential training.

The vital components of this master class will include somatic work, therapeutic alliance and trauma brain, underpinned by the attachment trauma model and its connection to trauma work. Attendees will be asked to look at attachment styles and how dyadic attachment and the relationship with the client contributes to the healing process. This in-depth opening into the vigorous modules in trauma training will give participants a greater understanding of what trauma work truly looks and feels like. They will better understand why the rate of relapse in recovery with this population is so high and how to intervene in a manner that greatly reduces a client’s relapse rate.

This masterclass has 6 CPD hours.

JUDY CRANE Judy has over 3 decades of experience working in both residential and out-patient settings.

She is a Certified Addiction Professional in Florida, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, a Certified Hypnotist, EMDR and a specialist for healing trauma and PTSD.

YORK SUITE

PROFESSOR ANTHONY MOSS MATTERS OF THE MIND: MENTAL CONTROL AND AVOIDANT COPING IN ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR The human brain underpins a stunning range of mental activities and yet it is also limited in a number of important ways which lead to a range of biases in the way that we think, interact with the world around us, and how we deal with different challenges. In this session, Professor Moss will explore the architecture of the human mind, looking in particular at how we exercise self-regulatory control, and what particular limitations exist in this domain of function. He will further explore some of the ways in which we cope with threats and challenges, considering the particular maladaptive approaches to avoidant coping in the context of addictive behaviour. Evidence will be considered which highlights some therapeutic implications of research in this field, with a focus on the use of mindfulness-based techniques.

Professor Anthony Moss Professor Moss is Professor of Addictive Behaviour Science and Director of Education and Student Experience for the School of Applied Sciences. His research interests focus on the cognitive aspects of addiction and the application of decision theory for understanding the onset, maintenance and offset of addictive behaviours. Professor Moss - and a pop-up pub lab - feature in BBC 1’s documentary ‘The Truth about Alcohol’ (first screened May 2016). Professor Moss spent two years working with the Addictive Behaviours Research Group at St George’s, University of London before returning to LSBU in 2009, where he had originally studied for both his undergraduate and doctoral qualifications. Other related research interests include applying basic science and theory into policy contexts for minimising the harms of alcohol and other drug misuse to society, integrating disparate theoretical approaches in addictions research into a coherent model of addiction which has theoretical and clinical implications, and the application of mixed methods approaches in research.

PROFESSOR KIM WOLFF INTERPRETATION OF DRUG TEST RESULTS: APPLICATION TO THE WORKPLACE AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES This presentation will look at the way in which drug screening results should be interpreted and consider confounding factors that may impact on drug test results. The relationship between impairment and drug test results will be examined in the context of the work place and other environments such as clinical settings and drug-driving.

Professor Kim Wolff Professor of Analytical, Forensic & Addiction Science King’s College London Institute of Pharmaceutical Science. Professor Wolff has been involved in the addictions field for over 20 years. Professor Wolff’s main research interest is concerned with biomarkers of substance misuse and she has acted as an expert advisor to several international bodies including the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), contributing to a report that was presented to the European Parliament on drug-driving; the ACT Safety Forum on Drug-Driving legislation (Australasian College of Road Safety) and; the ‘Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society’ organised by Her Excellency the President of Malta (2015) on drug-driving legislation.

PAULA HALL CAN RELATIONSHIPS SURVIVE SEX ADDICTION? This workshop will help therapists to understand the impact that sex and porn addiction has on couple relationships and will provide a framework to use when talking with clients, individually and as a couple. Built on the evidence-based work of Baucom, a three-stage model will be provided that can help the clients and the therapist to cope with the disparate needs of the addicted partner and partner, from discovery through to rebuilding intimacy. This workshop will be based on the new book release, Sex Addiction - A Guide for Couples (Routledge 2019). Helping individuals and couples cope with the impact of sex addiction on their relationship is perhaps the hardest work that any therapist will do. Reconciling the chasm of difference that has suddenly erupted between couples requires helping them to understand why and how they have become so estranged from each other, on opposite sides of the addiction abyss that divides them.

Paula Hall Paula is one of Europe’s leading experts in sex and porn addiction and is a highly experienced couple counsellor and sex therapist, as well as addiction therapist. She is perfectly positioned to deliver this presentation. As Clinical Director of The Laurel Centre, Hall has been delivering treatment programmes for addicts, support for partners and couple work for over ten years.

She is also a trainer on the Accredited Diploma in Sex Addiction Counselling and has spoken at many national and international conferences. Paula Hall is the author of Understanding & Treating Sex and Pornography Addiction (Routledge 2018), Sex Addiction – The Partner’s Perspective (Routledge 2016) and most recently Sex Addiction – A Guide for Couples (Routledge 2019). This latest title is the basis for this presentation exploring if relationships can survive sex and porn addiction; and if they can, how?

DR DANIEL SOUERY A TRANSDIAGNOSTIC APPROACH FOR PSYCHIATRIC AND RELATED DISORDERS Diagnostic approaches applied in psychiatry are often criticised and deemed unsatisfactory because of their relative lack of reliability and validity. One reason for this complexity lies in the purely symptomatic approach to diagnosis.

This approach also results in misdiagnosis, difficulties and high risk of aberrant therapeutic choices. The problem is also the source of great difficulty in differentiating the normal from the pathological in situations of emotional and psychological distress that should not be the subject of a psychiatric diagnosis.

Identifying the fundamental mechanisms by which our mental device can produce psychic suffering in all its forms (anxiety, depression, psychosis, addiction, ...) would be the key to a better classification of psychiatric disorders and their treatment. Neuroscience and modern psychology tell us more and more clearly that the common denominator of many psychiatric problems and psychic suffering in general lies in the management of emotions.

This lecture will focus on the brain mechanisms involved in emotional processes and their impact on behaviours producing symptoms in various psychiatric disorders. Recent studies confirm that cortico-limbic miscommunication at different levels of neuro circuitry and the ‘emotional-rationale’ unbalance, is one of the principal fundamental mechanisms in many psychiatric disturbances. Examples of brain imaging research in bipolar disorders and addiction will be presented revealing common pathways and processes in emotional dysregulation.

Dr Daniel Souery Dr Souery is the director of PsyPluriel. His clinical work focuses on the management of bipolar disorders, including psychoeducation, and psychopharmacological treatments. He has also been actively involved in launching European multicentre research projects in psychiatric genetics, bipolar disorders, pharmacogenetics, and treatment resistant depression.

DR JEFFREY KAMLET A PRIMER TO THE TREATMENT OF ADDICTION USING IBOGAINE - WHY HAS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEDICATION DISCOVERY IN THE HISTORY OF ADDICTION MEDICINE BEEN OVERLOOKED? Ibogaine, since 1995, has been the subject of research and called “a vast clinical experiment” by Frank Vocchi, Ex-head of The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA). As Ibogaine remains a Class I drug in the U.S.A., many Ibogaine treatment centres have proliferated all over the world and many Ibogaine studies and clinical trials have been published. There are over 300 Ibogaine related articles published in major peer review medical journals.

As the world’s leading expert on Ibogaine administration, and the pharmacokinetics of all forms of Ibogaine, Dr Kamlets presentation will begin with a brief history of Ibogaine. Dr Kamlet will explain how alongside Dr D. Mash they undertook a seven year clinical trial of approximately 380 patients for rapid detoxification from various drugs i.e.; opiates, cocaine, methamphetamines, alcohol and benzodiazepines in St Kitts BWI. He will explain why that data was never released and dozens of Ibogaine treatment clinics opened in various countries that allowed the use of plant medicine by nonmedical professionals. The protocol, side effects and risks of Ibogaine flood dosing were made public by the research and Dr Kamlet will deliver on these factors during his presentation looking specifically at the metabolism of Ibogaine flood dosing and the risks of this treatment, as well as new research being done into Microdosing.

In addition to this he will talk to attendees about Ibogaine as a potent QTc prolonger, and its causing significant bradycardia and hypotension. Furthermore, Dr Kamlet with share his observations and work with Dr Ken Alper in identifying Ibogaine as a potent HeRG blocking drug.

There will be many opportunities for learning in this presentation including, how treatment providers must use pre, during and post treatment safety measures to prevent morbidity and/or mortality from Ibogaine administration, as Ibogaine becomes more well known as a safe, effective, single dose treatment for Opiate Dependence and beneficial for detoxification for other drugs of abuse including alcohol.

To summarise Dr Kamlet will give the history of Ibogaine to date, the current state of Ibogaine research, the pharmacokinetics of the drug, safety concerns regarding treatment, and current and future research being done to bring this drug to market.

Dr Jeffrey Kamlet Dr Kamlet got his Bachelor of Science(BS) Degree, Cum Laude from Fairleigh Dickenson University. He has served as Chief Medical Director for a local municipality Emergency Medical Service/Fire Rescue service. He was a co-editor of the American Heart Association’s Advanced Cardiac Life Support manual. He was an Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Advance Paediatric Life Support and Advanced Trauma Life Support provider and instructor for many years. He was the first physician to study and administer Ibogaine in a clinical trial setting. Dr Kamlet has personally supervised over 1000 Ibogaine treatments and serves as the Chief Medical Advisor as well as Editor in Chief of the Global Ibogaine Therapeutic Alliance (GITA’s) Clinical Guidelines for Ibogaine-Assisted Detoxification. Dr Kamlet has served as the principal investigator for 20 major FDA clinical trials for major pharmaceutical companies.

DR DAVID N. GREENFIELD PLUG BACK INTO LIFE: TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS IN INTERNET USE DISORDERS This workshop will present clinical/treatment issues to address Internet addiction and Internet use disorder, along with an introduction to the neurobiology and related treatment implications of managing this growing process addiction. David will examine the broader psychosocial and neurobehavioral aspects of Internet misuse as a mood-altering behaviour and how the unique characteristics of the Internet promote compulsive use and addictive patterns - including how the Internet functions as a virtual ‘slot machine’. Intoxication latency, synergistic amplification of content, reward deficiency syndrome, and the specific and uniquely addictive aspects of the Smartphone will be presented; motivational enhancement and harm-reduction strategies will be discussed, along with a model of mindful/sustainable technology use as a preventative treatment strategy.

The Internet is the world’s largest ‘slot machine’; it operates on a variable reinforcement schedule where one experiences unpredictability in what, when, and how desirable the received content is. This variability keeps our brains tuned-in and vigilant and intermittent pleasurable stimuli releases dopamine in the brain’s limbic reward circuits. Since such rewards are variable and unpredictable, frequent checking and surfing on our devices and Smartphones become habit forming, tolerance producing and resistant to extinction.

When attempting to break this pattern, most people report withdrawal-like symptoms. The associated release of dopamine in the mesolimbic reward system can lead to a desensitizing reduction in dopamine receptor expression (down-regulation), reward deficiency syndrome (up-regulation), and hypofrontality (inhibition of executive functioning). The Smartphone adds another dimension to our Internet experience with its frequent use of notifications. We are constantly alerted via rings and buzzes that information is waiting to be accessed.

This leads to the anticipation of potentially desirable content, providing an even greater anticipatory release of dopamine, analogous to a trigger or cue, that keeps us pushing the button on a ‘slot machine’. Preliminary evidence suggests that Smartphone notifications and rings stimulate release of the hormone cortisol, in turn triggering a self-medicating stress-response by engaging with the device.

Dr Greenfield will introduce the 7-step treatment process for Internet and video game addiction consisting of: 1. Patient Engagement, 2. Pattern Disruption (including partial detox), 3. Trigger and Cue Identification, 4.

Management of Urges, Cravings, and Compulsions, 5. Blocking, Monitoring, and Filtering, 6. Real-Time Living strategies (reward transfer), 7. Relapse Prevention (sustainable/mindful tech use).

Dr David N. Greenfield Dr Greenfield PhD, MSCP is the founder of The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine where teaches in the psychiatry residency program courses on Sexual Medicine and Internet Addiction. He is recognised as one of the world’s leading voices on process and behavioural addictions and is author of Virtual Addiction, which rang an early warning bell regarding the country’s growing Internet Addiction problem as well as numerous medical journal articles and book chapters; he also serves as an editor for numerous psychiatric and addiction journals.

Dr Greenfield’s recent research and clinical work is focused on the neurobiology and psychopharmacology of compulsive Internet and technology use, behavioral addiction medicine, and compulsive Smartphone use. Dr Greenfield is a member of the American Society for Addiction Medicine, Fellow and Past-president of the Connecticut Psychological Association, The Sexual Medicine Society of North America, and American Society for the Advancement of Pharmacotherapy. He received his doctorate in Psychology from Texas Tech University and recently completely his post-doctoral training in Clinical Psychopharmacology.

MARK DRAX WE REPEAT WHAT WE DON’T REPAIR: FROM ADDICTIVE SECRECY TO A LIBERATED SELF We are only as sick as our secrets! An oft-used recovery phrase; but what does it actually mean? Any sort of trauma or abuse experienced in childhood can lead to us keeping secrets. We believe that what happened to us was our fault and we keep it hidden away. Shame keeps these secrets trapped inside us, eating away at our soul, causing us to see and experience life through a painfully distorted lens. In adulthood, this leads to lies and emotional reactivity that is disproportionate to perceived emotional threat. Our secrets are keeping us sick! If we never stop to explore the reasons behind dysfunctional adult behaviours, we will only keep repeating them; with our children, our partners, our friends and at work. This presentation explores the reasons why we keep secrets and the importance of exposing them, to prevent us from repeating the harmful behaviours we ignore and choose not to repair.

Mark Drax Mark Drax, ACC is an Addiction Recovery Coach, trained in England and America and based in London. He turned his experiences with early trauma and addiction into a coaching practice specifically aimed at helping people apply addiction recovery tools in a realistic and sustainable manner. Mark specialises in helping people identify and break dysfunctional patterns of sexual behaviour, bridging the gap between treatment and life. He works with individuals and presents workshops on subjects like shame, honesty & vulnerability. His goal is always to help clients replace addictive secrecy with healthy, nurturing pursuits; to rediscover and reclaim their true and original ‘self’.

DR TENA MOYER BEYOND DUAL DIAGNOSIS: THE HOLOGRAPHIC PATIENT Through the use of both didactic materials and case studies this presentation will explore how our patients are a mosaic of their biology, their innate temperament and their experiences. We will examine multiple disciplines and weave them together so that we can illuminate the inner life of our patients, both for ourselves and for them. We will discuss polyvagal theory and how it manifests in patient presentation, brain development and how childhood experiences are encoded into adult personalities, psychoanalytic theories and how to incorporate them into our formulations of our patients, normal biological and psychological development and how disruptions at specific points manifest later in life, attachment and family systems as well as other relevant areas of consideration. This enables us, as practitioners, to think of our patients in three dimensions - how each aspect of experience interfaces and interconnects with other life experiences so that the whole person emerges, not as a set of behaviours or a collection of symptoms, but as a holographic human being. By understanding the intersection of these factors we are able to imagine not only who our patients are but how and why they became who they are. And, through our ability to imagine and enliven their narrative, we are able to help them imagine and enliven themselves.

Dr Tena Moyer Dr Moyer, MD, serves as the Director of Liaison Psychiatry for Sierra Tucson. She attended University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine and completed an internal medicine internship at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. She has extensive training in multiple psychiatric and psychological techniques. Dr Moyer is trained in Somatic Transformation Therapy and Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy. She has pursued extensive psychoanalytic and psychodynamic training. As a practitioner, Dr Moyer attempts to synthesise diverse perspectives and approaches into her understanding and treatment of psychiatric patients, including biological, developmental, attachment, family systems, trauma, and psychoanalytic considerations.

ROWDY YATES BAD MOUTHING, BAD HABITS AND BAD, BAD BOYS This presentation will explore the apparent relationship between dyslexia, drug dependence and offending. The intention of the original study was to verify various anecdotal sources which have suggested that the incidence of dyslexia is higher amongst drug users than the general population. The study also sought to assess whether there was any correlation between dyslexia and the severity of dependence and to explore drug users’ views and experiences. The findings generally support the anecdotal evidence. Dyslexia does appear to be significantly more prevalent in this population, and dyslexic drug users appear to have significantly more drug-related and healthrelated difficulties. These findings have serious implications for the delivery of drug treatment. Subsequent work explored treatment milieu and the dyslexic drug user’s experience of differing treatment methodologies. Further studies examined the impact of dyslexia in recovering populations within a specific addiction theory framework; particularly with regard to employability, self-esteem and stigma. This presentation provides an overview of the findings and discusses the current position and recent research and practice developments.

Rowdy Yates Rowdy is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Stirling, Scotland. He was formerly the facilitator of the Scottish Addiction Studies group at the Faculty of Social Science, University of Stirling.

He has published widely on addiction issues, including an edited book (with Barbara Rawlings) on drug-free therapeutic communities; a handbook on the purchasing, management and evaluation of drug and alcohol services, and an edited collection (with Margaret Malloch) on recovery and pathways out of addiction, in addition to a large number of articles in various peer-reviewed journals. In 1994 he was awarded the MBE for services to the prevention of drug addiction. In 2012 he was made a Phoenix Futures Honorary Graduate and in 2018 he was presented with the William O’Brien Award for Excellence by the World Federation of Therapeutic Communities.

DR JAMES STALLARD THE REVOLVING DOOR: PSYCHIATRY IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT: FREQUENT ATTENDERS, MEDICALLY UNEXPLAINED SYMPTOMS, OVERDOSE, ADDICTION AND PERSONALITY DISORDERS Functional or medically unexplained symptoms are some of the most complex and controversial problems presenting to clinicians. Overuse of opiates for pains which never get better, demands for operations which aren’t necessary and long stays in hospital. How does a psychiatrist working on the frontline of the NHS steer treating teams and patients towards better outcomes?

ANDY RAMAGE THIS PILL WILL MAKE YOU LIMITLESS This talk will start with a story about a pill that will make you limitless. Andy uses metaphor to bring home the message that taking a break from alcohol is filled with a plethora of benefits. Going alcohol-free is not about giving something up, it’s about gaining and massive advantage. Andy will then introduce the OneYearNoBeer. com movement which has helped over 50,000 people transform their relationship with alcohol and aims to reach 1 million people over the next three years. OneYearNoBeer’s mission is to help a mass audience by creating a company that’s big enough to stand toe to toe with the alcohol giants and advertise a new message - that going alcohol-free will ‘actually’ make you cooler, sexier, tons of fun and even more successful. At OYNB we have found the alcohol-free movement is a gateway that brings people together, to be better. This not only helps prevent the slide towards addiction but also unlocks new ways of thinking and behaving that transform lives, such as connection, a tribe, inspiration to exercise, eat well and meditate. From this newfound place of empowerment, there is an opportunity to build resilience and prevent many of the other issues that hinder our society. Ultimately this talk is a rallying call for collaboration. Underlying our respective organisations from prevention to cure is a shared mission - to help people. Therefore we’re all playing for the same team, just in different positions. At OYNB our aim is to create a massive global platform that we can use to collaborate with and promote fellow organisations who are also trying to help people live life. Better.

Andy Ramage Andy is a former professional athlete and after injury cut short his career he went on to co-create two multimillion-dollar city brokerages. After achieving traditional “success” Andy was left unfit, unhealthy, overweight, stressed and unhappy. He believed there had to be another way to win big in the city while staying super fit, healthy, maintaining a happy home life and doing it with a smile on his face. So he set out on a quest to study peak performance and wellbeing. As part of this process, Andy took a break from alcohol. It was this experience that helped him unlock the behavioural change code and revitalise his business and life. Inspired, Andy co-founded a world-leading behavioural change platform OneYearNoBeer.com (OYNB) which is a 28, 90 or 365-day alcohol-free challenge. OYNB has inspired over 50,000 people to transform their relationship with alcohol and power up their life. Andy’s first book with Pan Macmillan - ‘The 28-day alcohol-free challenge’ is a best seller and his second book on motivation will be released in December 2019. You can catch Andy almost daily LIVE on both the @OneYearNoBeer & @AndyRamageMV Instagram and FB pages inspiring over 70,000 followers. Andy completes a masters degree in coaching psychology and positive psychology later this year and will then pursue his PhD. Andy’s unique background, education and experience make him one of the world’s leading behavioural change & peak performance experts.

ALASTAIR MORDEY AND BILLY MOORE POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH: THE ROLE OF FIGHTING SPORTS IN OVERCOMING ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES AND ADDICTION. A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ALASTAIR MORDEY (THAI REHAB PIONEER) AND BILLY MOORE (BOXER AND AUTHOR OF ‘A PRAYER BEFORE DAWN’).

Recent research into the psychological causes of addiction have revealed a ‘dose response’ relationship between adverse childhood experiences and addiction. Ironically, a sense of achievement and purpose can be found through the discipline and camaraderie of fighting sports. Sports like Boxing and Muay Thai have traditionally been used as one way of escaping poverty, deprivation and the traumas of an adverse childhood, drug use and crime. These sports have proved to be effective in community centres, boy’s clubs and correctional facilities the world over, instilling a sense of discipline and a constructive way of living for energetic young men. More widely still, and in light of recent comments by the APA regarding traditional concepts of masculinity, we could say that fighting sports ‘contain and channel’ so-called ‘toxic masculinity’. In this talk, Alastair Mordey- Thai rehab pioneer- explores these sports, their clinical applications and their potential to create post-traumatic growth through conversation with Billy Moore; boxer, author and anti-knife crime advocate.

Alastair Mordey Alastair is an international addiction counsellor, Thai rehab pioneer, author, and expert speaker. He co-founded and developed the largest treatment centre outside of the USA, The Cabin Chiang Mai. Historically, Alastair has worked in the entire range of settings from street outreach and frontline services to the management of residential units. In 2016, Alastair pioneered The Edge, the first rehab in the world to treat addiction and trauma in young men (18–30) by using Muay Thai (kickboxing) and triathlon training. Alastair and his graduates at The Edge regularly embarked on competitive triathlons from Olympic to Ironman distance. Alastair writes on addiction for many publications including Tatler, CNN and the Asian Correspondent. In 2016, he appeared as Jason Statham’s body double in the film, ‘Mechanic: The Resurrection’ which was filmed on location in Thailand.

He has also recently completed his first book, ‘Meet The Reptile’ - a mythopoetic account of addiction in the post-modern age.

Billy Moore Born in Liverpool in 1973, Billy had a difficult upbringing and struggled with addiction. In 2005, wishing to make a fresh start, Billy relocated to Thailand and entered a period of sobriety.

However, he eventually relapsed and was arrested and charged by Thai police and sent to Klong Prem prison, the infamous ‘Bangkok Hilton’. Billy witnessed acts of extreme violence and sexual assault. Eventually he found purpose through taking part in Muay Thai tournaments in jail. Here, he found ‘a wall of human community’ amongst the elite boxers and re-gained his sobriety. Ultimately his success as a member of the boxing team at Klong Prem led to his release. Upon release, Billy wrote about his experiences in his book, ‘A Prayer Before Dawn’ which was later adapted for the screen and premiered at The Cannes Film Festival in 2017. Since then, Billy has not only survived cancer, but also gone on to become a potent advocate of boxing and anti-knife crime initiatives in the Liverpool area.

He teaches boxing to local youth and appears regularly in the national media. He has now completed his second book, ‘Surrender from the Heart’ which focuses on his traumatic childhood, exploring the background and causes that led to his addictions.

PROFESSOR WULF RÖSSLER NUTRITION, SLEEP AND PHYSICAL EXERCISE: IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH Until recently nutrition and various other lifestyle factors were predominantly in the focus of medical disciplines like cardiology, endocrinology or gastroenterology. As mental disorders are multifactorial diseases and as such are complex, emerging evidence suggests that nutrition, exercise and sleep also play an important role in the aetiology, progression and treatment of mental disorders. In this regard research has mostly focused on depression and anxiety, but there is also evidence for other mental disorders like schizophrenia or autism.

Facts concerning the relationship between diet and sleep on neuro-transmitter processes, immune-inflammatory pathways or oxidative stress will be demonstrated in this presentation.

Modifications of life style factors and diet are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic options. Mostly used are nutrient-based supplements and essential elements in combination. But also healthy diet patterns with a high intake of vegetable, fruits and fish have proven beneficial in the treatment. If we better understand the microbiota-gut-brain axis and its impact on behaviour, mood and cognitive processes, diet and lifestyle factors can not only contribute to the treatment but also to the prevention of mental disorders.

Professor Wulf Rössler Professor Rössler is currently a Senior Professor at the Charité University Medicine in Berlin (Germany). Previously he has been a full Professor of Clinical and Social Psychiatry at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) and Director at the Psychiatric University Hospital as well as the Head of the Medical Directorate. After his retirement in Zurich, he was appointed Senior Professor at the University of Lüneburg (Germany), Head of the Center of Public Health and Project Leader of several large-scale EU research projects. Concurrently, he was appointed as Professor at the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), Project Leader of a large-scale epidemiological project in Zurich with nine sub-projects, and Fellow at the Collegium Helveticum, a joint Research Institute between University and ETH Zurich.

DR TIM LEIGHTON WHAT IS ADDICTIONS COUNSELLING AND HOW SHOULD IT BE SUPERVISED? The profession of addictions counsellor is not as well defined or evolved in the U.K. as it is in the U.S. In the UK the only widely recognised counselling credential is the generic accreditation offered by BACP. While excellent generic counselling skills are absolutely essential for all addictions practitioners, there is a strong argument that additional skills and knowledge are required to work effectively. But the specialist accrediting bodies like FDAP are small and not widely known so when counselling posts are being recruited for, BACP accreditation is often sought, which does not assure that the practitioner possesses crucial knowledge and skills, in areas such as assessment, group facilitation, family work or the implementation of evidenced interventions. The same issue arises with the supervision of addictions work. In light of the acknowledged gap between real world and evidence-based counselling practice, it is time to develop, disseminate and implement standards and models specific to the treatment of addicted people and their families, and develop supervision frameworks alongside.

Pathways to such development are discussed, and the views of the audience will be solicited.

Dr Tim Leighton Tim is Director of Professional Education and Research for the charity Action on Addiction.

He designed and launched the charity’s foundation and honours degree courses in Addictions Counselling in 2004. These courses are taught at Action on Addiction’s Centre for Addiction Treatment Studies, and have produced around 300 graduates to date. The degrees are franchised by The University of Bath. Tim has been a UKCP registered Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapist since 1994 and is also an accredited trainer and supervisor. His current research interests are mechanisms of change in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programme, and theory-based evaluation of treatment programmes.

DR PHILIPPE WUYTS BURNOUT HUMANITY - FROM EXCESS TO EXHAUSTION This presentation will start off with the presenting data from a multitude of sources on burnout prevalence in different populations. The important impact on individuals, business, and society at large will be demonstrated with a number of examples from recent studies. Secondly, a chronological overview of the development of the burnout concept will be presented. Freudenbergers 12 phase model and Maslach’s Burnout Inventory will be discussed in order to establish an effective working definition of the burnout syndrome and to highlight important diagnostic differences with major mood disorders and other pathologies. Thirdly, the central role of chronic stress in the complex interplay of dispositional, situational and systemic factors in burnout development will be addressed. A detailed account of how certain personality features and modern workplace-related practices pave the way towards the development of burnout pathology and how its symptomatology can be understood using this pathophysiological model as a base, will be presented. Forth, a range of systemic factors that are defining the Anthropocene age will be formulated, followed by a critical exploration of how these confront modern man and may lead to a fundamental crisis of existence, risking an increase of burnout on a global scale. In a final part, several ideas and suggestions to avert burnout humanity will be formulated.

Dr Philippe Wuyts Dr Wuyts obtained his MD from the KU Leuven, Belgium in 2006. He trained in general adult psychiatry at the UPC KU Leuven and at King’s College London.

JOHN D LIEBERMAN LONELINESS Loneliness is more than a feeling. Recent research shows that loneliness may be as dangerous as smoking.

Loneliness is a bio-psycho-social issue; it influences how we feel, how we act, the status of our health and potentially our life expectancy. One year ago, the British government instituted a Ministry of Loneliness because they recognised the need to address it as a social issue. In this presentation, we will look at how families and significant others are affected by substance abuse and addiction. We will look most specifically at two areas.

1. Addiction is a disease of alienation. The individual suffering with this chronic illness becomes more and more alienated from family, friends, and ultimately themselves. Many addicts describe feeling all alone while in a crowd.

Many recovering addicts describe feeling connected while ‘holding hands with strangers’.

2. When family and loved ones are confronted with the reality that someone they love has a drug and/or alcohol problem, the support system within the family is fractured. In this presentation, we look at how those close to the “addict” suffer in a way that we usually do not name specifically. Loneliness becomes a very real and detrimental reality. This is caused by lack of understanding, fear, past experience and shame. In many ways loved ones suffering with loneliness find themselves caught in a cycle of anger, fear, sadness and feel lost with nowhere to turn for support.

Family should be the ultimate “safe” place; addiction, substance abuse and other issues can make home instead feel like the loneliest place on earth. We will also look at how the modern age of snapchat, twitter and Instagram promote the idea of “fitting in.” Fitting in is the opposite of belonging. Belonging is the antidote to loneliness. This presentation will provide tools, skills and direction for professionals.

John D Lieberman John has committed his life to helping adolescents and young adults and their families find lasting recovery from the damages of addiction and co-occurring disorders. John holds a master’s degree in Industrial and Organisational Psychology and is currently the Administrative Director for Visions Adolescent Treatment Centers. During his 33 years in the Treatment Industry, John has led groups, been a featured speaker at national conferences, appeared in magazine articles and has been on numerous TV segments as an industry authority and champion of addiction recovery.

DR PIPPA HUGO FIGHTING CHILD STARVATION – GIVING EATING DISORDERS NOWHERE TO HIDE WITHIN THE FAMILY UNIT Eating disorders are serious illnesses in young people, with profound consequences for physical, social and emotional development affecting the whole family. It is often assumed that specific individual therapies are necessary to help someone recover; but involving the parents and family in understanding and managing the illness is crucial to successful treatment. Family-based treatment has emerged as an effective intervention for adolescents with eating disorders. In her presentation, Dr Hugo will be outlining the physical and psychological elements of eating disorders, explaining the effects of starvation on thoughts and feelings, and how these can interfere with therapy and recovery. Using case presentations and patients’ stories, she will discuss the rationale and phases of family based treatment and various modifications that have been developed. Resources that support families and factors that promote recovery will also be addressed.

Dr Pippa Hugo As an adolescent Psychiatrist, Dr Hugo believes strongly in the importance of engaging young people, encouraging their voice whilst supporting parents to develop the understanding and skills required to help their children. In ensuring a holistic approach, Pippa also believes in working with the wider multidisciplinary team and if necessary schools, to address all aspects of a young person’s social, emotional and physical development. Throughout her career, Pippa has been heavily involved in teaching and the supervision of nursing, psychology, medical students and psychiatric trainees. She has engaged in researching eating disorders and presented at both international and national settings including regularly to GPs and schools.

NICK BARTON AND KIRBY GREGORY THE HEALTHY CONTAINER This combination as a presentation/workshop will examine the concepts of containment and holding environments and explore how they might apply to addiction treatment in terms of their implications for practice, service delivery and organisational development. The difference between healthy and unhealthy containers and their implications for the patient/client experience will be explored. It will illuminate the connection between the quality of containment and ethical conduct. The contention is that understanding the concept of containment is vital to establishing an effective therapeutic relationship, but may be insufficiently embraced in the addiction treatment field.

Nick Barton Qualified as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in the US, Nick ran the addiction treatment centre Clouds House before going on to lead the charity Clouds and expanding its range. From 2007-15 he was chief executive of Action on Addiction. He has written many articles, spoken at conferences and contributed chapters to books.

SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION ROBERT AMSTERDAM IN CONVERSATION WITH HEATHER HAYES THE WORLD IS REACTING FROM A STATE OF FEAR: THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT EMOTIONAL DISTRESS HAS ON POLITICAL RELATIONSHIPS AND THE PSYCHOSOCIAL REVERBERATION THIS HAS ON THE WIDER COMMUNITY. Recommended for professionals from both legal and BME health backgrounds as well as individuals interested in understanding the psychosocial complexities and the significance of emotion within political relationships as well as legal conflict at every level. This presentation will be hosted by Heather Hayes, Hostage Negotiator, Psychological Profiler, Therapist and Interventionist, recognised for her comprehensive and trauma-informed approach to addiction and intervention.

Heather, passionate about humanitarian issues, will be joined in conversation with Robert Amsterdam to discuss how fear is driving the political climate and what the potential fall out from that might look like. Amsterdam is a Canadian International Lawyer with 35 years experience. He is known as “one of the few lawyers in the world [good at] taking on the state when the state starts acting like a criminal.” High-profile cases of his include famous political prisoners such as Eligio Cedeño in Venezuela, African political leaders such as Nigeria’s Nasir El-Rufai, and leading democracy advocates such as Singapore’s Dr Chee Soon Juan.

Together, Heather and Robert will be looking at Robert’s experience of working alongside public figures and communities in some of the most challenging investment environments and the impact reacting from a place of fear can have on political relationships and the psychosocial reverberation this has on the wider community.

Using her therapeutic stand point, Heather will look at how lawyers, their clients and even the general public cope with the backlash caused when decisions are taken in a heightened emotional state.

They will also provide understanding around the importance of forging relationships between therapists and lawyers in order to better serve our clients and patients. Attendees will gain insight into the synergies between public international law, international criminal law, and political advocacy and how actions and influences within these areas have implications on, and are consequences of, our emotions.

Robert Amsterdam Robert is an international lawyer with 35 years experience working on high-profile cases in emerging markets. Amsterdam’s unique blend of political advocacy and international law has led to his retention by several world leaders, such as the former Prime Minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra, former President of Zambia Rupiah Banda, Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria, among other high profile figures.

PAUL SUNDERLAND RELINQUISHMENT AND ADOPTION: UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF AN EARLY PSYCHOLOGICAL WOUND There is a high incidence of addiction and other mental health disorders amongst adoptees, with a disproportionate number presenting for treatment and recovery programmes. As early separation is a relational trauma, it manifests later in life as problems in relationships. The impact of trauma on functioning is both physical and psychological.

The relinquishment and adoption wound is stored, like other early attachment wounds, in implicit memory systems. The unconscious remembers the relinquishment as devastating and makes a mental note to avoid any similar experience at all costs. The conscious mind cannot recall the experience and so has no defense against the old lie that what cannot be recalled cannot have impact.

Paul Sunderland Paul has over thirty years of experience in working with clients with addiction and other mental health disorders. He has been clinical director of treatment centers in the UK and abroad. He has presented and taught on this topic at psychotherapy conferences (UKESAD, ATSAC), treatment centers and public lectures since 2008.

DR LEON VAN HUYSSTEEN AND JAN GERBER AT THE INTERSECTION OF MENTAL HEALTH AND WEALTH – UNDERSTANDING THE WEALTHY CLIENT AND THEIR FAMILY As more and more people grow up in significant wealth, understanding the complexities of providing expert treatment for this group is becoming more important. People from wealth are often confronted with a unique set of circumstances that impact upon their mental health: privilege, affluent neglect, affluenza, particular and often entrenched family dynamics, etc. Anyone providing care for this group of clients should have a clear understanding of the challenges and expectations. Very often, high net worth co-exists with low self-worth resulting in selfdeception, denial and rationalisation of their illness and behaviour.

Dr Leon van Huyssteen Dr van Huyssteen is a Consultant Psychiatrist and Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He has been in full time private practice since 2004 providing care and treatment for people with a broad range of mental health concerns. He is dually accredited in general adult psychiatry and substance misuse and has a special interest in peri-natal concerns, sleep medicine and occupational psychiatry. Dr van Huyssteen provides a dynamic yet holistic approach to care with the focus on establishing a strong therapeutic relationship with his patients. He is passionate about empowering patients to take control of their lives and helping them to maximise their potential.

Jan Gerber Jan Gerber is the founder of Paracelsus Recovery, a premier provider of mental health and addiction treatment working primarily with UHNW and celebrity clients and is the clinic’s director. He is a board member on several clinics and healthcare providers in Switzerland and has many years of experience managing addiction treatment and mental health providers as well as medical clinics. Jan’s philosophy regarding healthcare (physical and mental health) is “whatever works best” as he was frustrated by the displayed tunnel vision of many established doctors and treatment providers and common ‘one size fits all’ treatments.

DR JUDITH LANDAU AND GALE SALER ACCESSING THE COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF THE TREATMENT INDUSTRY AND THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY TO HELP CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES WORK TOGETHER TO FACILITATE RESILIENCE AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES - PART ONE There is a dramatic increase in risk-taking behaviour in our youth, precipitated by the wave of personal and societal violence, climate change, and social disconnection. These three presentations, which will build on one another, will discuss and illustrate, through case studies and outcome research, the urgent need to revisit our therapeutic origins to reorient our approach towards collective resilience as a healing community within and outside our walls. It is time to bridge our philosophical differences and combine our effective methodologies, techniques, and skills. Together we can form an impressive lobby and make a tremendous difference.

Presentation #1: Bridging the knowledge of the treatment industry and Therapeutic Community This presentation provides background context while exploring current commonalities, diversities, challenges, and opportunities. Experiences, case studies, and research will illustrate possibilities for bridging the combined resources, research and techniques of the Therapeutic Community and Treatment Programme models from a local, regional and global perspective. This session gives context for the following sessions.

Presentation #2: Methods and tools for integrating the Therapeutic Community Treatment Programme models into the larger community for prevention, early recognition, treatment, and a continuum of care Participants will review and discuss various presented interventions, in smaller groups with a designated reporter. The groups will share current and historic strengths, themes, customs and methods proven to be effective with youths and their families in their own settings. Participants will explore how to combine and utilise the techniques selected.

Presentation #3 Workshop: Developing a collaborative plan for working with youth, families and their communities: Goals, tasks and actions This session will devise goals that build upon and utilise the strengths, customs, and methods identified in the previous session. The focus will be on developing goals and tasks for sustainable health and well-being for the youth, families, treatment programmes and the communities in which they live. The overall aim is for each participant to leave with a globally-informed, yet locally actionable plan which can be successfully implemented in each home community.

DR MASSIMILIANO FRANI PING! EXPERIENTIAL MODALITIES IN TREATING TRAUMA AND ADDICTION Health Music is the object of international evaluation for its application within the Mental Health field. This session is focused on providing tools and evaluative data to better understand the effects of Health Music on the recovery process, also, in response to the insufficient quantity of defined music interventions in more long-term settings, using distinct control and experimental groups. Participants will be able to assess Health Music application as a non-pharmacological intervention, based on technological developments and conceptual understanding of defined music selections. This presentation will show outcomes on a study that has been designed to measure the standard care, monitoring, and therapy sessions on patients while in treatment. The session also presents data and best practices associated with the utilisation of Health Music for in-patient and out-patient programmes.

Dr Massimiliano Frani Dr Frani’s determination to apply music in medicine through rigorous and scalable modalities, is matched by international acclaim for classical recordings, performances and original works for the theater, opera and motion picture industry. As Master Pedagogue, he lectures worldwide and has received the 2007 ASCAP Award, among other international awards. Massimiliano’s activity is converged in Health Music research and development with international institutions for the implementation of music as a didactic and therapeutic tool in Education, Special Education, and Mental Health. He has presented Health Music papers, training sessions and conferences worldwide and is the recipient of the Melvin Jones Humanitarian Award.

MARK DEMPSTER SCHEMA THERAPY TO TREAT ADDICTION This presentation will trace the history of Schema Therapy and its relevance in the treatment of addiction. Early Maladaptive Schemas often spring from emotional needs that were not met during childhood or adolescence.

In the case of individuals affected by addiction, these behavioural patterns tend to repeat throughout their lives, even though they are self-defeating and unhelpful. This presentation will provide a clear structure of assessment to diagnose schemas and expand on the various techniques used over the course of the therapy in order to reduce the negative effects of core life traps and improve outcomes of substance misuse disorder.

Mark Dempster Mark has presented at several BACP conferences, as well as presenting at many local authority and public health conferences. Mark speaks regularly on radio as well as breakfast TV. Mark is an experienced trainer and has delivered an extensive menu of training to substance misuse services throughout the last twenty years. Topics have included: relapse prevention, recovery coaching, harm reduction etc, dispelling the myths of 12 steps.

CHRISTOPHER PAUL JONES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE AND ADDICTIONS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO BREAKING PATTERNS - PART ONE During this presentation participants will gain a deeper understanding into how our brain and body process stress and anxiety. They will learn about the fight, flight or freeze response and how they can spot when they themselves or somebody in their workplace reacts in one of those behavioural modes. Participants will learn about how external triggers and stimuli can fire off subconscious responses. They will be shown how to identify patterns within themselves and within others so that they can avoid such triggers. The workshop will also look at how responses and reactions to stress and anxiety can lead to addictive behaviour patterns, such as drinking, substance use, overeating and so on. Through better understanding the relationship between the mind, body and addictions, participants will be able to make more informed, clearer choices about how they choose to handle their stress and anxiety in the future and will leave the presentation with some practical therapeutic tools and exercises that they can use within both their daily life, and the workplace. This workshop puts forward the power and control that the participants themselves can have over the way that they are feeling, and they will leave feeling calmer and more confident, as individuals and in their ability to support and help others. This is a two hour workshop so notepads will be essential.

BENJAMIN FRY BIO-HACKING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM FOR MENTAL AND BEHAVIOURAL HEALTH RECOVERY Nervous system regulation is at the heart of mental and behavioural health problems. Advanced clinical methods now reference nervous system recovery as a route to treating both. This presentation explains in two parts first why, and then secondly how, to use technology to measure the nervous system during treatment with these methods. The world’s first non-contact device for reading nervous system biophysiological markers will be demonstrated live in session. It gives clinicians a live read-out of nervous system regulation via a coloured screen and allows them to record both the session and key statistics session-by-session during extended treatment.

Benjamin Fry Benjamin is the Founder of NeuralSolution, Khiron House and Get Stable. He is an accredited psychotherapist, author and entrepreneur. He has had a rich and varied career, combining his interests in psychology, the media and business.

DR PAUL HOKEMEYER FRACTURED BY FASHION: HOW TRENDS FROM ELITE FASHION HOUSES IMPACT OUR INDIVIDUAL AND RELATIONAL WELLBEING In 1856, Charles Worth, a designer to the European aristocracy, sewed a discreet label bearing his name into the interior of one of his haute couture gowns thus beginning the age of designer fashion among the landed aristocracy. Fast forward to today where the labels of Gucci, Balenciaga and Supreme are brazenly incorporated into a garment’s exterior design and sold to aspirational consumers who sacrifice their wellbeing for an illusion of wealth and privilege that covers the psychic pain of relational disconnection. In this presentation, Dr Paul Hokemeyer, an internationally renowned expert on elite identity constructs, will explore how fashion serves to amplify the class divisions that lead to a betrayal of self and an amplification of individual pathologies.

Dr Paul Hokemeyer Dr Hokemeyer is an internationally renowned clinical and consulting psychotherapist who works with individuals and families in the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and the European Union. A member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists, he received his certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional and is licensed in New York and Colorado as a Marriage and Family Therapist. In addition to holding a Ph.D. in psychology, Dr Paul holds a doctorate in law and a M.A. in clinical psychology with a focus on family dynamics. Dr Paul’s academic and clinical research, in which he explores the culture of wealth and celebrity, has been published by Lambert Academic Press, The Journal of Wealth Management and is the topic of an upcoming book to be published by Hazelden. Dr Paul has become one of the world’s most sought-after media experts for his on-air work on CNN International, Al Jeezara, Good Morning America, FOX News, and the Today Show.

CARLOS MARTINEZ EXPERIENTIAL THERAPY: HOW IT ACCESSES THE RIGHT BRAIN IN THERAPY - PART ONE Many of the wounds people sustain in developmental trauma occur when the right brain is developing, which is tied to the autonomic nervous system and the polyvagal nervous system. While talk therapy can be helpful in recovery from trauma and addiction, many of the therapies we employ as practitioners can be improved upon by using techniques that access the right side of the brain, where the original traumas occurred. Experiential therapies that connect with the HPA axis will empower the client to recognise what is happening with them in the here and now and use that awareness to move toward emotional sobriety. Alice Miller wrote, “The authentic feelings stored in the body remain untapped, and the price the clients have to pay for this is the unremitting persistence of the severe symptoms affecting them.” Experiential therapy can provide a pathway for clients to connect with the unconscious, allowing them to own the story remembered by the body at an emotional level; they can then integrate that story instead of repressing it.

Carlos Martinez Carlos has worked in the mental health and human services field for over 20 years. Serving as a Pastor, Chaplain, Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, Mental Health Screener, and Programme Manager for a mental health intensive outpatient programme, Carlos has experience in several modalities of treatment including Gestalt, Experiential, Psychodrama, DBT, CBT, and Logotherapy. He is a Licensed Professional Counsellor, Advanced Clinical Supervisor, and has worked in a university counseling center as well as working as a Professor in the university setting. He currently works as the Clinical Supervisor at Onsite Workshops. He is a gifted communicator and speaks to audiences every week from around the world on trauma, addiction, codependency and experiential therapy.

Alice Miller wrote, “The authentic feelings stored in the body remain untapped, and the price the clients have to pay for this is the unremitting persistence of the severe symptoms affecting them.” Experiential therapy can provide a pathway for clients to connect with the unconscious, allowing them to own the story remembered by the body at an emotional level; they can then integrate that story instead of repressing it.

ROKELLE LERNER THE SHAME SPIRAL AND CULTIVATING HEALTHY ATTACHMENT: DEALING WITH ANXIETY AND RELATIONAL DIFFICULTIES Shame/rage is the toxic residue, stemming from trauma, that resides internally when our shame is unacknowledged or unaccepted. This debilitating and complex shame is among the most destructive of human emotions. Isolation, depression, violence and anxiety emerges in a variety of ways that are profoundly damaging to the lives of the people we work with and the lives of those around them. Working with individuals experiencing unhealthy shame presents us with a formidable therapeutic challenge and by nature is so excruciating that it pushes people, particularly addicts, toward avoidance.

In the last decade there have been advances in the treatment of shame and trauma. Behavioral Neurologist, Stephen Porges, expanded the original understanding of the sympathetic (fight, flight) and parasympathetic (rest, digest) nervous systems and pioneered the discovery of a third nervous system response, governed by what he called the social engagement system (SES). The SES response is activated when we feel safe in our environment, helping us to feel soothed and connected to other people. This system also activates the parasympathetic nervous system response, bringing on feelings of peace and contentment. Further, the SES helps us to be more flexible in how we cope with shame/rage response, and it also helps us to maneuver our way through relationships.

We know that a hallmark of shame is disconnection and isolation. The aim of therapy informed by Dr. Porges’ research is to help restore a client’s instinct to reach out to others when they need help, rather than trying to manage dysregulation on one’s own by relying on behaviors such as withdrawal, aggression, dissociation or substance abuse. The embodied empathy of the therapist co-regulates the client’s nervous system, and the client eventually learns to self-regulate. So the initial impulse to manage oneself in a way that’s ultimately harmful, such as binge drinking, becomes replaced by more optimal ways. In other words, trauma therapy makes use of the SES and parasympathetic nervous system responses to help people to feel calmer, less alone, more resourced with tools and options for coping, and more empowered to reach out for help when necessary.

This workshop will address the polyvagal theory and put it into action in terms of techniques that demonstrate how to manage shame and how to build resiliency with interventions based on attunement, empathy, forgiveness and compassion.

CHIP SOMERS REHAB - DEAD OR ALIVE? In this presentation, Chip will talk about the parlous state of rehab. How is it possible that we have gotten to the point where we have all these rehabs, but you can only really get into them if you have money? How have we let local councils take over the medical care of addicts and alcoholics? How have we tolerated a system so clearly broken to continue? He wishes to take the delegates on a journey as one of the few people still working in the rehab field in this country who is old enough to remember when the only requirement for rehabilitation was having an addiction. Chip will talk about his experience of challenging the established thinking and puts forwards some theories that may drastically change the possibility of access to rehab to a much greater number of clients.

How have we allowed the care of addiction to become a war between harm reduction and abstinence to the point where both sides deride and obstruct the other? Is there an alternative?

Chip Somers Chip has been working in abstinence based rehabs for thirty four years. He managed a twenty three bed unit for men called Thurston House for seven years. He was Addiction Manager at the Priory for three years. He then went on to found and run Focus12 for twenty years.

Focus12 always had four fully subsidised places and is by far the proudest achievement of his career.

GARY BLOOM WHY SOME MEN CAN GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT SPORT, BUT FIND IT HARDER TO ACCESS THEIR EMOTIONS AT HOME OR AT WORK? Remember the summer of 2018?

England reached the semi-finals of the FIFA world cup and suddenly the nation was transfixed with the exploits of Gareth Southgate’s team. In front of huge TV screens, strangers hugged each other from the bars of Liverpool and Leeds to the beaches of Brighton and Bognor. But why can grown men cry at a national anthem or a rendition of ‘Swing Low’ at a rugby international but keep a stiff upper lip when emotional carnage is going on around them? Logical philosopher AJ Ayer, who had an irrational love of Tottenham Hotspur, described his love of belonging to a football tribe. Why do men find it hard to be vulnerable with their partners, loved ones and work colleagues, and why is suicide the biggest killer of men in the UK aged 25-50? In this presentation sports broadcaster and clinical psychotherapist Gary Bloom looks at the nature of the male psyche, and how some men fear feminisation if they don’t act in a macho fashion. Looking at the examples of sport Gary will explore the role of masculinity and male power in the 21st century and what we are teaching our children when we refuse to acknowledge our feelings. *Warning this presentation might contain strong emotions!* Gary Bloom Gary is a clinical Psychotherapist working at Cognacity’s Harley Street practice. He works one to one with people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, addictive behaviours and relationship issues. Gary is an expert in helping clients deal with intrusive press attention as he has worked for more than twenty-five years in sports broadcasting and understands the stresses of an athlete’s career. Gary currently hosts the award-winning therapy show ‘On The Sporting Couch’ on talkSPORT Radio and works for a football league club as a psychotherapist. He was the voice of the Football Italia show on Channel Four in the nineties, alongside James Richardson. He holds a postgraduate diploma (PGD) in psychotherapy and counselling and a degree from the University of Wales.

DR SARAH FLOWERS PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED TREATMENT IN ADDICTION: NEW KID ON THE BLOCK OR OLD HAT? What does the future hold for abstinence-based recovery? There is new wave of medication on the horizon to treat addiction which includes the psychedelics: ketamine, MDMA & Psilocybin. Currently in the UK there are mainstream clinical trials in which alcoholics are treated with MDMA. In 2021 this will be a licensed treatment and may be a much more widely available option. Are we ready for this? The style of the presentation is an informal story about the evolving use of psychedelic drugs as medicine. This is a subject area which will likely divide opinions and may challenge attitudes professionally, personally and philosophically. Whatever we think about it individually, psychedelic drugs are being used in the treatment of addiction and dual diagnosis at the present time.

During this presentation, we will explore the history of psychedelic assisted medical treatment & the emerging situation in the UK. We will examine the perspective of an addiction psychiatrist and an addiction therapist on using psychoactive medication during a patient’s recovery journey.

Dr Sarah Flowers Dr Flowers has extensive experience working in a variety of inpatient and community settings in and around London. Dr Sarah Flowers is proficient in managing the range of substance use disorders and addictions combining clinical expertise with a deep understanding of recovery.

CINDY WESTCOTT THE JOURNEY HOME TO SELF IN THE AFTERMATH OF NARCISSISTIC ABUSE The mental health system is currently seeing a flood of individuals who are seeking treatment and support in the aftermath of primary relationships with persons with narcissistic and psychopathic disorders. Victims often describe subjective states of going crazy, being a shell of their former selves, profound helplessness, emotional numbing, and an inability to recover a sense of agency or initiative to rebuild their lives. The grief, mourning, and recovery processes from such relationships often demand an intellectual study and understanding of the disorders themselves and tools for assessing the resulting physical, emotional, and spiritual damage. Risk factors for becoming reengaged in the same or similar relationships must be reduced. Finally, the individual must embark on an inner journey to reclaim and reintegrate the fragments of the shattered self-identity.

Cindy Westcott Cindy serves as the Clinical Director of Milestones and has over twenty nine years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She is the founder of The Psychological Trauma and Wellness Center of Memphis. She has developed and facilitated inpatient programmes for suicide prevention, complicated grief and PTSD. She is a level 2 EMDR trained clinician and also utilises other innovative therapies such as Internal Family Systems, Gestalt and Ego State Experiential therapies, EFT, and others to address the acute and longterm effects of childhood and other forms of trauma and abuse. Cindy has spoken locally, regionally, and nationally on a variety of topics including Cultural Diversity, Women and Empowerment, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Eating Disorders and Trauma, and other topics related to grief and trauma recovery. She has experience as a Director of Social Services and wrote and developed inpatient chemical dependency and codependency treatment programmes during the 1990’s. She has been a member of 12 step recovery programmes since 1995 and enjoys reading, traveling, animal rescue, and writing.

SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION DR CLAUDIA BLACK UNSPOKEN LEGACY: REVERBERATIONS OF TRAUMA IN THE ADDICTED FAMILY Trauma begets trauma and addiction begets addiction; and each tend to beget the other. From her most recent book, ‘Unspoken Legacy: Addressing the Impact of Trauma and Addiction within the Family’, Claudia Black will describe how addiction and trauma are interconnected, often repeated and most importantly what must happen for healing to occur.

She will discuss trauma, both the blatant and the more subtle forms, along with what influences both vulnerability and resilience to painful life situations.

Claudia Black will deliver a dynamic talk discussing the relationship of trauma and addiction, with the emphasis being on the family system. She will demonstrate the influences of generational repetition through the use of genograms.

Claudia will acknowledge ‘Shame’- the core belief in one’s unlovability, one’s lack of value- that grows from living with trauma and addiction. From her own seminal work, she will conclude by detailing priorities in treatment and seven stages of healing and recovery.

Dr Claudia Black Dr Black, Ph.D., MSW, is a renowned author and trainer, she is internationally recognised for her pioneering and contemporary work with family systems and addictive disorders. Claudia is the clinical architect at the Claudia Black Young Adult Center at The Meadows. Furthermore, she serves as a Senior Fellow and has been a clinical consultant at The Meadows Treatment Center in Arizona since 1998.

Claudia’s seminal work with children impacted by substance abuse in the late 1970s created the foundation for the adult child movement. Her pioneering contributions are many: • She was the first to name and coin the dysfunctional family rules, ‘Don’t Talk. Don’t Trust. Don’t Feel’.

• She described the phenomena of delayed stress, emotional trauma, the child’s denial process, and ‘looking good’ kids, as they relate to growing up with addiction, hence the meaning and phraseology of ‘Adult Children of Alcoholics’.

• She broke the barrier and openly discussed physical and sexual abuse in the context of addictive families.

Her work and passion offers a foundation for those impacted by addiction and trauma to recover, and gives our professional field a library of both depth and breadth.

She is one of the original founders and serves on the Advisory Board of the National Association of Children of Addiction and serves on the Advisory Committee for Camp Mariposa®, The Moyer Foundation’s national addiction prevention and mentoring program. Claudia is the recipient of numerous national awards including the 2004 Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Washington School of Social Work, the 2010 Conway Hunter Award for excellence in the field of addictions, the 2012 Robert Rehmar Addiction Professional Award, the 2014 Father Joseph C. Martin Professional Excellence Award, and the NAADAC 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award.

Claudia is the author of over sixteen books; the latest title being ‘Unspoken Legacy: Addressing the Impact of Trauma and Addiction within the Family’. She has also produced CDs, and DVDs available through Central Recovery Press.

DR MICHAEL MCCANN AND SARAH CHILTON ADDICTION IN THE WORKPLACE: CORPORATE RISK, HUMAN FRAILTY AND LEGAL ARGUMENTS In this presentation, participants will learn the impact of addiction on an organisation and the implications for senior executives to develop a comprehensive Alcohol and Drug policy and Management Programme within a corporate setting. The use or abuse of alcohol and/or drugs may not be perceived as a significant risk factor in some organisations, but it should always be considered good governance in any company to undertake a Risk Assessment to identify any such potential organisational vulnerability. The probability of an event happening, or the magnitude of such an event, should be risk assessed to ensure that any problems arising can be effectively managed.

Michael and Sarah will introduce a dynamic strategy that includes three important elements that should be the cornerstones of any corporate alcohol and drug strategy: Risk Management, a ‘Taking Care’ approach and Reintegration back into the workplace. There are also many legal traps to be aware of, particularly in relation to testing and disciplinary procedures.

The presenters will review the legal implications behind corporate responsibility for the productivity, welfare, and rights of its employees struggling with chemical dependency as well as review the value proposition for employee rehabilitation and the benefits of having this type of programme within an organisation.

DR MEL POHL CHRONIC PAIN AND ADDICTION: HOW WE MISSED THE BOAT Join Mel Pohl for this presentation to explore the critical role that behavioural healthcare professionals have in reducing individual suffering and providing non-pharmacologic solutions to address chronic physical pain and to turn the tide in the world’s opioid crisis. This session will review the interactions of pain, suffering and addiction as they interface in your clients with suggestions for intervention, treatment and at techniques to manage opioid dependence and the experience of recovery from chronic pain with clinical methods including mindfulness, CBT, DBT and ACT. Chronic Pain occurs as a complicated web of emotions and physical symptoms. Mel will describe the principles of chronic pain, including central nervous system processing and the brain’s response to pain and suffering. He will identify the effects of emotional distress on increasing chronic pain; physical pain receives much attention, but often the impact of emotional or spiritual pain is underemphasised. In fact, physical pain is usually accompanied and enhanced by emotional distress. The most common way to treat pain is to use opioid medications, which can complicate the course of chronic pain. For some individuals who develop dependence/ addiction to these medications, management and treatment for their condition can become much more complicated.

Mel’s work with hundreds of patients has shown the important role that clinicians have in reducing chronic physical pain by using tools such as biofeedback, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and yoga interventions that often are more effective and have a greater impact on reducing physical pain than traditional opioid-based therapy. The presentation will be a mixture of lecture, case presentations and discussion.

Dr Mel Pohl Dr Pohl, MD, DFASAM is the Chief Medical Officer of Las Vegas Recovery Center (LVRC).

Dr Pohl was a major force in developing LVRC’s Chronic Pain Recovery Programme. He is certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM), and a Distinguished Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).

DANA POLLACK AND LORI WILLIAMS THE ONLY WAY OUT… IS THROUGH A historical event, the 80th Anniversary of the first Twelve Step Residential Treatment Program.

Bill Wilson and Marty Mann placed their feet firmly on the ground at High Watch Farm in October of 1939.

Bill Wilson had founded Alcoholics Anonymous just four years earlier and The Big Book had been in print for only four months. High Watch at this time was a spiritual retreat owned by a spiritualist who called herself Sister Francis. In that moment and the days following, it was to become the first-ever integration of residential treatment and the Twelve Steps. Today marks the 80th anniversary of this treatment program. However, there is a growing scarcity in such care both in Europe and Internationally, especially for people with severe substance use disorders and co-occurring illnesses that require long-term rehabilitative care. This presentation will reignite the power of a true Twelve Step treatment model with findings related to the significant benefits for patients engaging in this specific programme.

A centerpiece of this session will be the Clinical meets Spiritual connection. There will be leading examples of the success of Clinical practitioners and Twelve Step Coaches working together with patients to treat the neurobiology of addiction and any co-occurring disorders as part of a lifelong treatment plan. Participants will be immersed in the powerful ‘Chapel’ experience a place that Bill W famously described as having a truly transcendent atmosphere. This experience will be led by an original Twelve Step coach and will give you a glimpse of the power of transformative thinking. Representative of the lifelong approach to recovery, this presentation will end with a focus on the importance of alumni and aftercare illustrating that access to a worldwide network of self-help and fellowship ‘works - if you work it’.

Dana Pollack Dana is the Clinical Director at High Watch and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Dana is recognised for her ability to develop individualised treatment for residents based upon their strengths using an eclectic approach. She is a specialist in relapse prevention using cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Helping someone to better understand themselves or move through a difficult situation in their life, is what Dana finds the most rewarding part of her work. She received her MSW in Social Work with a specialisation in addictions from Fordham University and her BS from Dominican College.

Lori Williams Lori has been working in the field of recovery since 1999 and is a Twelve Step Coach at High Watch Recovery Center. She received her clinical training at Connecticut Counselling and completed the requirements for Certified Addictions Counsellor, International Certification of Addictions Counselling, and a Certificate of Competency in Co-Occurring Disorders from The Connecticut Certification Board. Lori received additional training while working as a Detox Counsellor, HIV Case Manager, and Residential Clinician for Co-Occurring and Out-Patient clients at several nonprofit facilities throughout Connecticut. She continued her clinical work as a sober companion and interventionist. Her experience crystallised in her the need for a more personal one-on-one approach, working with both client and family members to help negotiate all the various components involved in recovery from addiction.

Many people are struggling to cope in the aftermath of the shocking and brutal loss of someone they love. In our world today, people are grieving the death of a child or other loved one through violence, accident or unpredicted illness.

These losses can result in indescribable suffering for those who grieve and we, as clinicians, may not always know how to help them recover. This presentation will examine the diagnostic criteria for complex grief and explore clinical considerations and strategies to help those who experience unresolved and complex grief.

VIOLA EDWARD KAYANA BREATHWORK FOR RECOVERY - PART ONE Breathing is a life-sustaining activity that we practice instinctively from the moment we are born until the moment we die. Conscious Connected Breathwork is a somatic therapy. An hour-long session with the rhythm of the breath used in this technique influences neural activity, enhances memory recall and expands emotional awareness. It helps to release suppressed blockages from the automatic nervous system. Since 1993, Viola has applied this breathing technique in the context of recovery and has found it to be very powerful in supporting and advancing the treatment of addiction and stress management (among other issues). Since the body holds our traumas, it can also heal itself. The release of physical tension is the first effect and reframing past and negative experiences the second, completed by integration of the self. It can be used as a stand-alone therapy or as an add-on to medical treatments. Conscious Connected Breathwork can also create access to an altered state of consciousness often leading to the experience of bliss and transcendence.

Viola Edward Viola is a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and Breathwork pioneer with twenty six years of international experience with individual and corporate clients. She specialises in Professional Training Breathwork Mentoring, Kayana Breathwork for Recovery and Stress Management & Relationships.

DR DON GRANT LEFT TO OUR OWN DEVICES: PRACTICING HEALTHIER DEVICE MANAGEMENT & PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP Recommended for both professionals and individuals, this presentation will explore how our digitally-based devices and behaviours have-and will perpetually continue to-affect, effect, and alter our lives, lifestyles, and careers. It will expose our ‘for better’ and also (potentially) ‘for worse’ increasingly reliant relationships with screens, as well as the applications and services they deliver. Attendees will be taught how to identify potential risk factors of online engagement for themselves, their patients, students, and families, then be provided with pragmatic strategies to promote healthier device management and professional digital citizenship. Psychoeducation surrounding the myriad manners of modern use and utilization of devices and the digital platforms they support will be offered.

Attendees will be introduced to pragmatic tools, instruments, strategies, recommendations, and skills to first identify potential risky or unhealthy device-mediated behaviours. ‘Untether’ their clients from unhealthy or risky online engagement, and finally therapeutically support “disconnection” and reconciliation of any dysregulating emotions, underlying diagnoses, or irresponsible transfers of behaviour or process addictions which emerge as the result of a ‘digital detox’. Don will offer examples of ‘real life’ use and utilisation experiences and will provide pragmatic tips, skills, strategies, and expert recommendations for the practice of safe and wise ‘professional digital citizenship’.

Dr Don Grant Dr Grant is an internationally award-winning media psychologist, keynote speaker, and researcher. He is Executive Director of Resolutions Teen Center intensive outpatient programme in Santa Monica, California (www.resolutionsteen.com), and Founder/CEO of ‘(un)BOOT CAMP’, which assists adolescents, adults, and families struggling with healthy device use/utilisation. Dr Grant is Chairman of the American Psychological Association (Div. 46) ‘Device Management & Intelligence’ Committee and has been personally commissioned by APA to write the only book they plan to publish on this topic. His current research includes investigations of the potential effects of cyberbullying and cyberpornography on adolescents, young adults and our culture.

ERIN LAWLER PATTERSON THE POWER OF POSITIVE PREVENTION: HOW CREATING POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE GROUPS CAN DRASTICALLY IMPROVE THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT Peer pressure. It has typically become associated with a negative connotation. But what if it were turned into a positive? What if a climate was created within a school where it was cool to be part of a student-led group focused on making good decisions? What if students placed in leadership positions were empowered to use their personal experiences with addiction and mental health to inspire other peers and create a platform for open dialogue on sensitive issues and alter the overall school climate in dynamic ways? In this workshop, Erin Lawler Patterson will outline the framework of the ‘Positive Prevention’ model and discuss the successes and pitfalls faced when recruiting, training and selecting students (and faculty) for the leadership team and explore securing funding and creating buy-in within the school and community.

SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION DR TIAN DAYTON RELATIONSHIP TRAUMA REPAIR (RTR): AN EXPERIENTIAL MODEL FOR TREATING CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND PTSD Research in neurobiology has made it clear that our emotions are experienced and processed by the body as well as the mind, and that healing the emotional disconnection resulting from relational trauma and co-occurrent addictions requires a mind/body and relational approach.

Psychodrama and sociometry allow the body to participate in the therapeutic milieu. Sociometry allows for many small connections with self and others. Working in small and incremental moments of connection and repair can help clients to move in and out of their own disconnections without becoming overwhelmed.

This process can also help clients to regulate activating emotions without becoming flooded. RTR is a psychoeducational model that teaches while providing an experiential, relational process of healing and reconnecting with self and others. It is experiential and relational, designed to facilitate moment after moment of connection and repair at a level that is tolerable. There are many moments of sharing in dyads and clusters so that we strengthen skills of opening up, reaching out, sharing and then listening to others do the same. It is also lively, interactive and fosters autonomy.

Dr Tian Dayton Dr Dayton is one of the early pioneers of Psychodrama, widely acknowledged as a leading global expert in its practice, theory and neuroscience, and is in addition an internationally renowned speaker, expert, and consultant in Trauma and Addiction, ACoAs and self-help related issues.

Dr Dayton is the author of fifteen books including ‘Neuropsychodrama’, ‘The ACoA Trauma Syndrome’, ‘Emotional Sobriety’, ‘Trauma and Addiction’, ‘Forgiving and Moving On’, and ‘The Living Stage’.

Dr Dayton is a Senior Fellow at The Meadows Behavioural Healthcare, the President of the New York Psychodrama Association, a fellow of the American Society of Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy ASGPP, winner of their scholar’s award, President’s Award and Gratitude Award, former Editor In Chief of the Journal of Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy and Professional Standards Committee.

She is also the winner of The Mona Mansell Award and The Ackermann Black Award. She was on the faculty at NYU for eight years teaching Psychodrama. Dr Dayton has a Master’s in Educational Psychology and a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and is a board-certified trainer in Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy.

Tian is also a certified Montessori teacher. She has been a guest expert on NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Montel, Rikki Lake, John Walsh, Geraldo and blogs for Thrive Global and The Huffington Post.

DR LOU COX AND REV SAMANTHA PARKER IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS UNITY: IF THE EGO CREATES AN ISOLATED HELL ON EARTH, EMPATHIC CONNECTION IS THE ROAD OUT Are faith and consciousness the lights to shine on the hidden inner forces of endarkenment? The nasty, selfdestructive cycles of confusion, self-doubt and self-hatred created and maintained by the ego? The ego, operating in stealth mode, can create for its host a hell on earth, an endless isolation and a futile search for tribal safety and validation. Awareness shines a light on ego; faith and community shine a healing light on shame, isolation and fear; authentic empathic connection restores unity and heaven on earth. Dr Lou Cox and the Rev Samantha Parker will explore the challenges to the full evolution of our psycho-spiritual nature through a dialog, between themselves and with the audience, about the ego, religion, personal growth, and spirituality.

Lou and Sam’s dialog will draw both on Lou’s lifetime of experience as a psychologist, as well as a facilitator of conscious conversations in groups of individuals ranging from Aerosmith to the Disney Corporation, and on Sam’s experience as an Interfaith Minister, a founder of the charity Music Support, and a woman in recovery.

Dr Louis D. Cox Dr Cox is a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Organisational Consultant who has been practicing for fifty years. Lou has consulted with different types of teams, such as executive teams, management teams, musical bands, and community organising teams, around developing and maintaining high performance. Clients have included The Disney Corporation, AT&T, American Airlines, Sony Corporation, International Creative Management, Big Foote, as well as numerous successful rock and roll bands, including Aerosmith, REM, and Bon Jovi. Lou is an expert in the area of alcoholism and addictions. He is experienced in methods that are designed to enable individuals, families, and business colleagues to deal effectively with the insidious and destructive power of addictive disorders.

He also teaches Mindfulness, Meditation, and a method of deep self-inquiry. Through individual, couple, family and group sessions, he assists his clients in releasing the grip of their conditioned limiting self-definitions and in revitalising their experience of being and becoming. Lou also supervises other therapists in their practice of psychotherapy.

Rev Samantha Parker Sam is the founder of Parker Consulting, a company specialising in delivering mental health and wellbeing initiatives to the creative and entertainment industries. www.parkerconsulting. co.uk.

EMILY BIELEN, LEONARD BUSCHEL, WEST JONES AND TERESA QUINLAN MODERN MARKETING AND ETHICAL BOUNDARIES: WHEN SWIMMING POOLS NO LONGER CUT THE MUSTARD In order to run a successful treatment centre many owners will try a number of random marketing tactics in the hope that they will generate the business they need. Attempting undirected, haphazard strategies can be a waste of time and money for all involved. Without clear direction it is almost impossible to judge what is working and what isn’t. In order to ensure that you have a successful and comprehensive marketing strategy for your business, it is advisable to work with an experienced addiction treatment marketing partner. You will see immediate results when you work with someone who understands your field, and tailors your strategy to your specific requirements, taking into account size, client base and your unique business goals. The most successful marketing strategy for any treatment centre needs to be an extension of your business morals and values. An individual approach which will work specifically to achieve your aims and engage your clients. It is imperative that you focus on a few key areas if you want to get the most out of your marketing plan. Today’s vital elements include SEO, Social Media, Blogging, PR, Advertising and Alumni.

CLARINDA CUPPAGE AND LOU LEBENTZ NUMBING THE PAIN: CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE AND ADDICTION Childhood sexual abuse is in the forefront of news on a regular basis. Many clients in addiction services present with underlying trauma, including childhood sexual abuse. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) research findings indicate an increased risk or vulnerability to addiction for adults who experienced childhood trauma.

We will consider treatment for childhood sexual abuse, are we working with trauma-informed models, when in recovery should we work with this trauma? Drawing on contemporary neurobiology, symptoms of childhood sexual abuse and survivor testimony we will discuss disclosure and how to support survivors.

Clarinda Cuppage Clarinda is an integrative counsellor, and in currently completing an MA in psychotherapy. She has an MSc in medical anthropology. Clarinda developed the Survivors’ Voices awareness project with the charity One in Four to promote understanding of impact of childhood sexual abuse. She developed a Survivors’ Voices film for NHS England and teaches mental health nursing and social work students about the lived experiences of survivors. She volunteered on the NAPAC national abuse helpline and is a counsellor at One in Four, and previously was a counsellor at CGL. Lou Lebentz Lou is a trauma expert, psychotherapist and EMDR clinician who worked at The Priory for over a decade, many of those years on the addiction treatment programme. Lou runs a busy private practice in central London working mostly with trauma presentations and particularly, childhood sexual abuse. For the past year, Lou has been focusing on childhood sexual abuse and helping people overcome the loss, shame and isolation associated with such wounding. Lou is working on launching a programme, ‘The Voyage’ later in 2019, helping survivors of CSA work through their trauma in a safe, online and affordable group format.

RAFFERTY LAW, JOE SHEERER, KYRA BARTELS, GEORGE AND VINI BOY, INTERRUPTED: REHAB, RESILIENCE AND THE PROACTIVE ENGAGEMENT OF YOUNG MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH Data on global health burden demonstrate that young men have a markedly distinct health risk profile. Adolescent and young adult men do poorly on indicators of mental health which is evidenced by elevated rates of suicide, conduct disorder, substance use, and interpersonal violence relative to their female peers.

Calling out for focused development of targeted interventions for this population implies an honest and continuous intergenerational dialogue.

For this panel, we decided to pass the mic and raise the voices of young men whose lived-experience and community endeavours allow us to reflect on some of the key themes related to addiction and mental ill health in adolescent boys and in young adult men.

Rafferty Law, Joe Sheerer, and Kyra Bartels will be joined by George (16) and Vini (17) to talk about their journey from rehab to recovery, to capture the importance of resilience and nurturing emotional awareness, and to share their understanding of the impact of social determinants such as stigma and shame on the engagement of young men in their mental health.

Rafferty Law Musician, Model, and DJ The multi-faceted, London born Rafferty Law is a true millennial in every sense of the word.

He is an accomplished musician and DJ. He combines his talent with infectious personality.

As a model, young Raff has graced the cover of L’Officiel, and appeared in editorials for Teen Vogue and L’Uomo Vogue. He has walked the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and worked with Hugo Boss alongside Luka Sabbat and Sarah Snyder. Off the set, Raff sets out to engage in proactive work and fundraising to spread awareness and to support the mental health and wellbeing of young men.

Joe Sheerer Lived Experience Coordinator, Amy Winehouse Foundation Joe Sheerer is 29 years old. Having grappled with addiction since the age of 14, he subsequently found recovery at 22, and is now nearly 7 years abstinent from drugs and alcohol. A former promising athlete, and now a loving uncle to 3 nephews, Joe works as a Lived Experience Coordinator at the Amy Winehouse Foundation’s Resilience Programme, applying his expertise to serve and deliver this ground-breaking drug and alcohol awareness prevention programme, as well as self-esteem workshops for secondary schools.

Kyra Bartels Senior Counsellor, Yes We Can Youth Clinics Kyra Bartels has worked as an experience-based counsellor at Yes We Can Youth Clinics for several years, providing solutions for teens and young adults aged 13 to 25 struggling with mental health issues, addictions, and behavioural problems. Having faced her own battle with addiction in the past, Kyra contributes her experience to support the recovery of young people. Her role includes leading group sessions in accordance to the unique treatment programme as well as monitoring the positive recovery climate within the clinic.
