Overview
Emotions are a powerful instrument in psychotherapy, signaling whether our needs are being met within an environment. They can manifest as either painful or adaptive experiences, each carrying significant meaning. During sessions, painful emotions can be brought into awareness, activated, tolerated, and ultimately transformed into adaptive feelings.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a robust framework for engaging with clients' emotions during sessions and aiding them in making sense of their emotional pain. To facilitate the integration of EFT's key concepts into your practice, Dr. Timulak has developed this hands-on course, which covers:
- differentiating between primary, secondary and instrumental emotion;
- assessing client emotion processing styles;
- maladaptive emotional processes;
- case conceptualisation;
- the role of the therapeutic relationship in EFT;
- working with emotional avoidance and emotional dysregulation;
- key EFT tasks and interventions (such as Two Chair Dialogue for working with self-criticism);
- transforming core emotional pain in therapy through the activation of adaptive emotional processes.
This course is designed to equip you with all the necessary tools to help your clients master their relationship with their emotions.
