The FSAP is informed by Feeling- State Theory (FST) that describes how a positive feeling becomes linked with a behavior that causes the compulsive behavior. This compulsive behavior can take the form of either behavioral addiction or a substance addiction. However,in addition to the behaviors normally understood to be an addiction, FST also provides an understanding of he psychological dynamics of other behaviors such as co-dependence, anger issues, anxiety, obsession, and depression. The FSAP provides a treatment solution to these difficult-to-treat behaviors. In addition to the FSAP, Dr. Miller will present the Pain/Terror Release Protocol (P/TRP). Compulsive behavior is often the result of both a desired feeling (the feeling-state) and as a means to avoid unwanted feelings. The P/ TRP provides both the clinician and client with a gentle and effective method for releasing the unwanted feelings, which will help maintain client sobriety. Videos of these approaches to treatment will be presented. Feeling State Addiction Protocol P/TRP Pain/Terror Release Protocol
