Emotionally Focused Therapy in Practices

This Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) training is an introduction for therapists to gain a basic understanding of the EFT theory and clinical technique of working with couples. EFT was developed by Sue Johnson and presented by ICEEFT Certified Trainer Paul Guillory, PhD. This training will consist of lectures, and video demonstrations. Dynamically integration of cultural factors into the EFT training is the passion of Guillory. As part of this training, participants will learn how to view couple distress through an attachment lens, a road map for key clinical stages and moves of the Tango and core intervention techniques.

• Discuss three ways to see martial distress from an attachment perspective.
• Define three ways to facilitate partners in processing their emotional response that maintain relational distress.
• Describe two ways to integrate cultural factors (i.e., factors that block development of compassions and strengths that might promote empathy).
