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 journey from loss to resilience.
In this workshop, Dr. Leanne Campbell, Registered Psychologist and ICEEFT Certified Trainer, explores—through the lens of attachment—some of the mystery and meaning of common terms and expectations surrounding loss, acceptance, letting go, and moving on (to name a few). You’ll also witness firsthand the power of harnessing and employing the deep emotion that so often accompanies loss as Leanne guides you through the process from loss and grief to growth and resilience.
Participants in this workshop 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 30 years of process and outcome research when working with loss
Upon completion of this course, the attendee will have learned to:
- Describe the key elements of the attachment perspective and its significance for understanding personality, health, and loss
- Describe the CARE model and its application in EFIT when working with loss
- Outline the process of ‘first sessions’ in EFIT and use these early sessions to discern the needs and goals of the client in what is often a natural grief process
- Create a ‘safe haven’ alliance for clients to explore and order their loss experience, in context
- Outline the EFIT frame for understanding loss, including traumatic loss, as well as key considerations in charting the course
- Describe the three stages of EFIT and the way the therapist uses the three-stage roadmap to chart the course and support and/or guide clients through loss and grief to growth and resilience
- Apply key EFT interventions in working with loss, including traumatic loss
