Overview
This workshop is aimed at practitioners who may be interested in pursuing EFT training in the future but wish first to learn more about the approach. The presentation will give an overview of EFT theory and practice, covering such topics as differentiating between primary, secondary and instrumental emotion; maladaptive emotional processes; assessing client emotion processing styles; 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); and transforming core emotional pain in therapy through the activation of adaptive emotional processes. The workshop will consist of a lecture supported by a video illustration. It will not involve experiential exercises.
