OVERVIEW:
Healthy relationships require self-awareness and effective communication. Grounded in attachment theory, EFT operates on the premise that secure emotional bonds are fundamental to the well-being and longevity of healthy relationships. Through a blend of experiential techniques, empathetic exploration, and restructuring of negative interaction patterns, EFT facilitates a deeper understanding and validation of emotional needs, fostering a secure attachment and enhancing relational satisfaction.
EFT offers a structured framework comprising three key stages: de-escalation, restructuring, and consolidation. By creating a safe therapeutic environment, promoting healthier communication patterns, and fostering greater emotional accessibility, EFT empowers individuals and couples to cultivate secure attachments and foster resilience and intimacy within their relationships.
OBJECTIVES:
By attending this training, you will be able to:
1. Identify attachment formation and style during childhood.
2. Analyze the relationship between core beliefs formed from attachment and unhealthy relationship cycles.
3. Describe Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as a modality to increase awareness and insight into traumatic events from childhood.
4. Apply an EFT framework and techniques to cultivate secure attachments.
AGENDA (all times are Eastern):
