Sharpening your Focus and Going Deeper with EFT
Description:
Couples work is a dynamic challenge! It can be invigorating and exciting … and sometimes confusing and discouraging. This cutting edge course is designed to enhance, deepen, and expand your work by helping you stay focused and implement specific micro-moves that empower couple therapists to stay on target and remain grounded. You will emerge from this workshop with a distilled set of ‘what works’ applications that can be applied immediately in your clinical work. Grounded in the neuroscience of human attachment, this training takes the best of proven interventions and applies them to the recurring blocks and triggers that all couple therapists encounter.
Renew your confidence by getting help in the areas where you lose focus and get lost in reactivity and misattunement. Learn multiple strategies to make explicit, expand and work through the blocks we all experience. Go deeper with George as he breaks down the moment-to-moment decisions that inform the couple treatment process so you can immediately incorporate powerful, proven techniques into your own work. Through video clips, experiential activities and vibrant dialogue, we will learn how to freshen up, better attune, and refine our skills. And we will have fun! Join us and come away inspired and more fully engaged in your own work with couples and families.
This is an intermediate program for all mental health professionals.
