An Emotionally Focused Approach
KATHRYN RHEEM
Partners with a history of disordered attachment can be among the most challenging clients that couples therapists see. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a clear road map for working with such unpredictable escalating couples by helping them access and share primary emotion. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
- Use voice, reflection heightening, and validation to help partners share their deepest vulnerabilities
- Reprocess key trauma experiences to create a new template for healthy attachment
- Restructure couples’ negative patterns and stay in process when they become emotionally activated
