How East Met West
Published in Tricia L. Chandler, Fredrick Dombrowski, Tara G. Matthews, Co-occurring Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders, 2022
The decades of research into the efficacy of energy medicine (Oschman, 2000) and energy techniques for healing physiological and psychological disorders have been explored for issues developed due to trauma (Levine, 1997, 2010; van der Kolk et al., 1996; van der Kolk, 2014). These modalities of treatment combine somatic therapies, cognitive therapies, energy medicine, and consciousness/creativity approaches to bring the body and mind back into balance. This chapter acknowledges the historical use of acupuncture that has developed and been accepted to treat triggers and cravings for those with substance use disorders and pain syndromes. It explores kinesiology and how it has been used in exploring the body/mind concerns a person may be experiencing and acupressure as the beginning processes that have led to thought field therapy and emotional freedom technique. These therapeutic approaches have demonstrated evidence-based outcomes for releasing emotional dysregulation due to intense trauma memories that maintain activation in the limbic (survival) brain while reducing emotional dysregulation, depression, anxiety symptoms, and triggers. By reducing the activation of the limbic brain through a combination of integrative approaches, clients with co-occurring disorders are able to access higher executive cognitive functioning, resulting in other therapeutic approaches having better outcomes (Levine, 1997, 2010).
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy

Since its development, DBT has been empirically accepted as reducing the distress and dysfunctional coping strategies in these individuals. It has been recognised as being applicable across a broad number of conditions where emotional dysregulation is evident (Ritschel et al., 2018). There is now evidence to support the use of DBT with eating disorders, substance misuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, aggression and impulsive behaviours and adolescents (Groves et al., 2011).
Developing Education and Treatment Protocols for Substance Use Disorders That Are Socially Responsible, Accountable, and Integrated

Patients with SUD in an emergency or critical care situation will almost certainly be experiencing emotional dysregulation. In this scenario, it should be expected that a patient will display some common symptoms: extreme anxiety or fear, symptoms of trauma, depression, near-death experiences, and suicidal ideations. Emotional dysregulation likely will drive a patient in crisis to look for an immediate solution to these intense emotions. Let’s look at some of the common indicators of dysregulation.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting about 7% of children worldwide [1] and up to 10% of children in the United States [2]. It is a significant public health concern, associated with poor social, academic, and economic outcomes as well as increased risk of hospital admissions and injuries [2]. ADHD is clinically diagnosed as a chronic pattern of inattention and/ or hyperactivity/impulsivity that interferes with functioning in two or more settings and is not due to another disorder [3]. Increasingly, ADHD is recognized as involving problems with self-regulation, which may include emotional dysregulation. Clinical features of emotional dysregulation include irritability, inappropriately positive or negative emotions, persistent anger, defiant behavior and/or vindictiveness, and impulsive aggression [4]. These symptoms occur in conditions like Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) [3].
Neurobiological Mechanisms Of Depression Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Depression after TBI may be phenomenologically and neurobiologically distinct from major depressive disorder (MDD). Some patients with depression after TBI may experience symptoms that overlap with those of MDD, including lack of motivation, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating, exhaustion, irritability, loss of appetite, and insomnia (5). In contrast, other patients may experience symptoms of atypical depression including apathy, lethargy, hypersomnia, increased appetite, reduced arousal, and leaden paralysis (5). In addition, patients may report headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, fatigue, frustration, lack of motor coordination, memory deficits, cognitive impairment, and difficulty performing tasks that require learning, selective attention, and working memory following TBI (6). Patients may also experience chronic emotional dysregulation and significant changes in affect includingagitation, angry outbursts, aggressive behaviors, frustration, and impulsivity (7). Some patients may also experience personality changes, co-morbid psychiatric disorders (e.g., anxiety, substance abuse, etc.), and increased suicidal ideation (8–10). Depression after TBI is a public and global health burden, as it negatively impacts the quality of life by promoting reliance on caregivers and reducing an individual’s capacity to function independently in society (11).
Neural Activity Across the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex and Risk for Suicidal Ideation and Self-Injury

In the case of NSSI, research has demonstrated a distinctive association between emotion dysregulation and risk and severity of NSSI. Emotional dysregulation refers to the inability to regulate and control the intensity and duration of negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, fear, sadness, depression, anger and guilt (Laddis, 2015). It is well established that NSSI occurrence is associated with higher levels of global emotion dysregulation (Bedi, Muller, & Classen, 2014; Gratz, Breetz, & Tull, 2009; Gratz & Chapman, 2007). In an effort to more clearly understand the role of emotion and emotion dysregulation in NSSI, In-Albon, Tschan, Schwarz, and Schmid (2015) investigated emotion regulation among adolescent females with a history of past and current NSSI. They found that adolescents with a history of past and current NSSI reported significantly more instances of emotion dysregulation, lack of emotional clarity and difficulty engaging in goal-directed behavior than did the control group (In-Albon et al., 2015). Furthermore, Morris (2016) showed a clear association between emotion dysregulation and higher rates of lifetime engagement in NSSI, as well as use of NSSI behavior as a maladaptive emotional regulation strategy.
