The Spring 2021 addictions issue for EMDRIA’s Go With That magazine features my article “A Day in the Life of a MET(T)A Center.” I tell the story of how the first MET(T)A Protocol Center began, and how MET(T)A has grown over the last 6 years. I detail my journey into EMDR therapy, the application of mindfulness and EMDR therapy in the treatment of addiction, EMDR therapy as a complete psychotherapy, the Palette of EMDR Interventions in Addiction (Markus & Hornsveld, 2017) and the further development of the MET(T)A Protocol. I describe what a typical day in a MET(T)A Protocol Center is like, and share some thoughts on the future of EMDR therapy and addiction
