Essentials of Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy
Description:
OPD Points: 10
This four-day training outlines the theory and practice of EFIT focusing on the primacy of emotion and the creation of a safe haven & secure base alliance. It will explain how EFIT conceptualises health and dysfunction from an attachment perspective and will help therapists to identify cycles of emotion regulation “within” and cycles of interpersonal relating “between” that block growth and adaptation. Therapeutic change in EFIT is experiential and revises working models of self and other. This training will introduce therapists to a systematic sequence of interventions, the EFT Tango, as well as micro-interventions, that help the therapist to stay with present processes in each and every session and to shape key change events. Didactic presentations will be accompanied by the viewing of EFIT sessions and experiential exercises.
