Leading Edge Seminars
With a clear roadmap and on-target interventions, EFT is an empirically validated treatment approach that meets the gold standard set out by bodies such as the American Psychological Association (APA) and has been shown to be effective in assisting couples in both addressing trauma and improving their relationship functioning. In her book, Attachment Theory in Practice (c. 2019), Dr. Sue Johnson notes two key implications of attachment science for clinical practice. That is, “harnessing the power of emotion within the client is the most potent way to promote change” and “change is inherently interpersonal, sculpted by the emotional messages that occur in dialogue with another” (Johnson, 2019, p. 25). Recognizing that the relationship can be a key resource in healing trauma, this training will focus on how to work relationally with couples to heal the potentially pervasive and deleterious impacts of personal trauma.
Participants will discover:
· The attachment humanistic perspective on clients, problems and interventions, with a specific focus on understanding the impacts of trauma from an attachment perspective
· The goals, stages, and key change events of the EFCT model
· How to weave the impacts of trauma into the couple’s relationship cycle in a way that informs the couple and the therapeutic process
· The five moves of the EFT Tango and how the Tango is used to shape corrective emotional experiences, transforming trauma and deepening the relationship bond
