Description

Even as advances in neuroscience and attachment theory have led to an increasing appreciation of the centrality of emotions in human relationships, it’s ironic that therapists are so often intimidated by the raw power of clients’ feelings. This workshop will guide you through the process of helping clients tap into their deepest emotional reserves as a positive force for shaping growth and transformation. Through exercises and viewing sessions of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), you’ll develop skills to:

  • Distinguish between primary and secondary emotions and use attachment theory as a road map for couples work
  • Encourage vulnerability by incorporating the “Soft, Slow, Simple” approach into your therapeutic style
  • Use focused empathic reflection to reconnect, repair, and rebuild clients’ bonds
  • Deepen emotion to build “Hold Me Tight” bonding conversations
