In this one-day training, Dr. Leanne Campbell offers a clear, compassionate, and practitioner-ready roadmap for using Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to transform the impacts of trauma and kick-start the organic growth process. EFIT is an attachment-based, humanistic, experiential, systemic approach that helps clinicians understand trauma through the lens of bonding needs, emotion regulation, and working models of self and other.
Participants will learn how an attachment frame and an emotion focus make EFIT especially suited for working with diverse trauma presentations (including cumulative/work-related trauma, single-incident trauma, traumatic loss, complex/developmental trauma). You’ll be guided through EFIT’s step-by-step three-stage map and its “five-move set” of interventions—the dance of attunement, the EFIT Tango—to help you create focused, corrective emotional experiences that build safety, coherence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more resilient sense of self.
By the end of the day, participants will be able to:
Describe trauma and its impacts through an attachment perspective, including emotion dysregulation and protective strategies.
Create and maintain a safe haven secure base alliance that promotes exploration, discovery and growth, with attention to when to “use ourselves and when to remove ourselves” with the Tango as our guide.
Conduct an experiential attachment-based assessment and “chart the course” with attention to pacing and the C.A.R.E. frame (context, attachment, relationship/therapeutic alliance, and emotion).
Apply the EFIT Tango across the three-stage process, with ongoing attention to assessment and pacing as therapy progresses.
Identify and work with blocks (e.g., shame, overwhelm) with careful pacing and “window of tolerance/capacity” sensitivity.
