Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy is one of the most researched interventions in couples counselling. EFT focuses on the emotional bond between a couple but also on each partner's own emotional experiences and needs. It strives to uncover the manner by which each partner's emotional reaction to events contributes to negative interactional patterns within the relationship. Over the course of therapy, the fractured emotional bond is healed by identifying these negative interactional cycles, and transforming them by accessing, articulating and responding to primary attachment and identity related emotions and needs.
The essential goal of EFT is thus the creation of new, healthy patterns of interaction by using emotion to restructure interactions. Building on latest in EFT, this intensive 4-day training institute in EmotionFocused Couples Therapy provides registrants with in-depth skills training through lectures, video demonstrations, modelling and experiential practice. The workshop will cover the 5 stage, 14 step expanded model of EFT-C, and EFT-C for forgiveness and resolving emotional injuries, focusing on working on attachment and identity needs, as well as self and other soothing. As an emotion-focused therapy we focus on how to work with emotions such as anger, sadness, fear and shame. Participants will be asked to identify key interactional cycles in their own present or past primary relationships and work on these by accessing their own primary, underlying emotions in the training.
