Workshops 8 & 11: Echoes of Trauma: Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) for Individuals with Trauma

Edmonton, AB

May 7, 2024 8:30am - 11:45am & 12:45 pm - 4:00 pm MDT

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT; S. Johnson) is best known as a potent couple intervention but has always, from its inception, been used in clinical practice with individuals.  This workshop focuses on Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) as it applies to working with individuals struggling with the echoes of trauma.  Attachment science and an Experiential Humanistic approach offer a map that simplifies how we view and frame clients’ problems, and how we intervene across the three-stage therapy process.  The ‘experiential assessment’ tunes the therapist into clients’ strengths and vulnerabilities to chart clients’ therapeutic journey toward a felt sense of security with self and others – the pathway to symptom resolution and the antidote to trauma.

Join Dr. Leanne Campbell, co-director of the Vancouver Island Centre for EFT and ICEEFT Trainer, for an online, immersive exploration of Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) in the context of trauma recovery.

While Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is widely acclaimed for its efficacy in couples counselling, its applications in individual therapy are equally profound yet often overlooked.

In this live online workshop, Dr. Campbell illuminates the intersection of attachment science and an Experiential Humanistic approach, providing you with invaluable insights and practical tools for facilitating healing and transformation in your clients.

Delve into the heart of EFIT for trauma recovery as you discover:

1. The Essence of Attachment: Unravel the key elements of attachment theory and gain a deeper understanding of how attachment patterns shape personality and influence responses to trauma.

2. Framing the Therapeutic Journey: Learn a systematic approach to framing clients’ challenges within the EFIT framework, guiding them toward overcoming barriers to growth, fostering connection, and expanding their sense of self.

3. Creating Transformative Moments: Master the art of crafting transformative moments in therapy sessions, where vulnerabilities are met with compassion, balance, and skillful intervention.

4. The EFIT Tango: Explore the macro EFIT intervention sequence, including the EFIT Tango, and discover a repertoire of experiential micro-interventions such as tracking, reflection, and validation, essential for driving change in every therapeutic encounter.

5. Shaping Corrective Emotional Experiences: Develop strategies for shaping corrective emotional experiences, facilitating the regulation and organization of inner experiences, and promoting meaningful engagement with others as a catalyst for trauma recovery.

Embark on a journey of professional growth and personal enrichment as you deepen your understanding of EFIT for trauma recovery under the guidance of Dr. Leanne Campbell. Whether you’re a seasoned therapist seeking to enhance your practice or a novice clinician eager to expand your toolkit, this workshop promises to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to effect profound change in the lives of those struggling with the echoes of trauma.

Attachment theory and science offer a guide to understanding love and loss. Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), an attachment-based humanistic experiential therapy, provides clinicians with a roadmap and set of interventions to support and guide individuals as they begin their unique journeys from loss to resilience (see, for e.g., Campbell & Johnson, 2022; Mikulincer & Shaver, 2021). In this workshop, join Dr. Leanne Campbell, Registered Psychologist and ICEEFT Certified Trainer as she explores, through the lens of attachment, how best to understand and support individuals in the grief process. Witness the power of harnessing and employing the deep emotion that so often accompanies loss as Leanne guides clients through the process from loss and grief to growth and resilience. Participants will discover:
• The key elements of the attachment perspective and its significance for understanding personality, healthy functioning, love, and loss, including traumatic loss
• The process of tuning in and finding focus in EFIT when working with loss
• A guide for working with loss across the three stages of EFIT
• How to apply key Attachment-based Experiential Humanistic interventions based on the EFT model and over thirty years of process and outcome research when working with loss
