Explore the framework and stages of Emotionally Focused COUPLES
THERAPY WITH GUEST SPEAKER LILIANE NAHAS, M.Ed., LPC-S, LMFT-S.
Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) is an empirically supported
approach to couple therapy based on attachment theory that has
demonstrated a high recovery rate for relationship distress. EFT
provides clinicians with a highly effective road map to help couples
clarify the emotional signals they send to one another, de-escalate,
and move out of the negative interaction patterns that threaten their
experience of security and connectedness. Using a combination of
didactic and experiential material, guest speaker Liliane Nahas will
introduce participants to the EFT attachment theory framework, as well
as the steps and stages of EFT.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
* Understand adult love and couple distress from an attachment theory
framework
* Describe the course of therapy in EFT
* Identify specific interventions used in EFT to help couples
reprocess negative affect and restructure negative interactions
* Appreciate the unique power attachment framed affect has in healing
couple distress to create a secure attachment
