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.

Working in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples with ADHD

Having ADHD can present many challenges to everyday life. As a therapist, we are also not immune to the impact of ADHD as some psychotherapists may also suffer from ADHD. Those who have ADHD can be incredibly successful when they are able to work with their symptoms and harness the unique aspects of having ADHD. Emotionally Focused Therapy is an incredibly effective model that can help someone with ADHD learn how to slow down, how to control the speed of life and distraction and learn how to relax when they need it most. Join us with our special guest, Alexine Thompson, Certified EFT Trainer in Switzerland, showing and discussing a real session on how to use EFT in healing couples with ADHD.
Alexine Thompson De-Benoit is an ICEEFT certified EFT supervisor and trainer, clinical psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist in Switzerland. As an EFT trainer, Alexine has a passionate interest in ADHD and has been learning to identify and treat relationships affected by this disorder for several years. By following the proven EFT approach, she helps these couples to develop compassion for each other and to understand that they are both sufferers of this diagnosis.

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.

Your comments, reflections, and questions will be encouraged and most welcome!
