Real couple session!

How would it be to work on an attachment injury without knowing what the injury actually is? Watch in awe the incredible power of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with a gay male couple where no information given about the injury itself.

We are often reminded that we need to prioritise working with the process over working with the content, so how would it be to work on an attachment injury without knowing what the injury actually is? In this session, which was a one-off live session for training, Sandra works with a gay male couple on an attachment injury but isn’t given the information about the injury itself. She works by slowing down and staying with their struggle to find what the injured partner needs to take the next steps in healing, encouraging them back into the process when they repeatedly exit, and enables them to get a crucial shift. This session shows the incredible power of EFT, the value of its structure and skills, and the beauty and importance of our flexibility and creativity in our work with couples.

What will we be doing at EFT Movie Club & Skills Lab?

As EFT is first and foremost an Experiential model, from experience and feedback, we use “TELL, SHOW, DO” way of learning.

We’ll watch together EFT Experts conducting their Live sessions:

• – observing and noticing interventions,
• – “unpacking” finer moments of their interaction with couples,
• – pausing at frequent intervals to discuss and reflect,
• – see how it resonates with us, where it “lands” within,
• – what emotional ‘handles’ you notice and can use in the ‘here and now’ of the session,
• – what would you have done differently if you had the couple in your consulting room,
• – try interventions BEFORE an EFT trainer does,
• – where would you go next?
• – what it evokes inside and how we might respond in our “Self-of the-Therapist awareness.

Along the way in the ‘hear-and-now’ of the sessions:

• – Safety First – In Escalation and constantly at every moment of the session
• – Reactivity – Contain, Challenge and Control, learn how to put it to good use in the session
• – Cycle – Recognising it in the Session, Tracking, Focusing, Validating, Reflecting, Summarising, Giving it back to the couple
• – Emotions – Cues, Entry points into experience, Reflect, Validate, Deepen, Enact
• – Enactments – different types of Enactments, 3Bs (Blocks/Balks and Bullets)
• – Tango – Tango moves, differences Stage 1/Stage 2

Your comments, reflections, and your feedback will be most encouraged and welcome!

Sue Johnson, Lorrie, Brubacher, Marlene Best, Gail Palmer, Brent Bradley, Rebecca Jorgensen, Scott Woolley will be shown, starting from Stage 1 and following deeper into the model.
