Healing & Treating Traumatic Wounds
Workshops 8 & 11: Echoes of Trauma: Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) for Individuals with Trauma
May 7, 2024 8:30 am - 11:45 am & 12:45 pm - 4:00 pm MDT
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT; S. Johnson) is best known as a potent couple intervention but has always, from its inception, been used in clinical practice with individuals. This workshop focuses on Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) as it applies to working with individuals struggling with the echoes of trauma. Attachment science and an Experiential Humanistic approach offer a map that simplifies how we view and frame clients’ problems, and how we intervene across the three-stage therapy process. The ‘experiential assessment’ tunes the therapist into clients’ strengths and vulnerabilities to chart clients’ therapeutic journey toward a felt sense of security with self and others – the pathway to symptom resolution and the antidote to trauma.
