Attachment-based Interventions to Treat Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression
Finally, there is a map offered to us by attachment science to work in an organic, on-target way to help clients with trauma, anxiety, and depression.
This workshop will build on the skills and knowledge base offered in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) Level 1. In this training, we will continue to help you solidify your understanding of the general EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) model that now has a strong and solid empirical foundation based on over three decades of research, including over 30 studies with couples. These studies have taught us how to be more efficient, more on-target and more effective in each and every session with our clients, whether we are working with individuals, couples, or families. This training will also help you to expand your skills in moving clients more efficiently and effectively from distress to ‘fitness’ – moving, alive, strong, resilient. The overall aim of this training is to help you further hone your craft in identifying clients’ blocks to growth, and then moving them in every session into new corrective emotional experiences that unblock the organic growth process and shape confident individuals – securely connected with themselves and with others – and ready to continually adapt, grow, and evolve
Prerequisite: Completion of EFIT Level 1 Training with an ICEEFT Certified Trainer
