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.
By attending our workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify attachment formation and style during childhood.
- Analyze the relationship between core beliefs formed from attachment and unhealthy relationship cycles.
- Describe emotionally focused therapy as a modality to increase awareness and insight into traumatic events from childhood.
- Apply EFT framework and techniques to cultivate secure attachments.
