Workshop Content:
Prof. Greenberg will provide a 4 day introductory
and experiential workshop on Emotion-focused
Therapy (EFT) as a treatment for working with
complex emotions. EFT is a unique empiricallybased approach, based on methods designed to
help people accept, express, regulate, make sense
of and transform emotion. Recent years have seen
a growth of EFT in individual and couples therapy,
both because of its status as an evidence-based
treatment, and also because the EFT approach
focuses on the development of emotional
intelligence and on the importance of secure
relationships. Based on emotion, attachment, and
growth theory, EFT helps people identify which of
their emotions they can trust and rely on as
adaptive guides and which of their emotions are
residues of painful memories that have become
maladaptive to the person's current context and
need to be changed. With the help of the
therapist's empathic understanding and the use of
experiential methods, clients learn how to make
healthy contact with feelings, memories, thoughts,
and physical sensations that have been ignored or
feared and avoided. The approach will be
illustrated with video recorded case studies. The
phases of treatment will be described and the
specific processes that led to the resolution of the
clients’ presentation will be highlighted and
illustrated
