Description

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. In this workshop, join Dr. Leanne Campbell, Registered Psychologist and ICEEFT Certified Trainer as she 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. Witness also the power of harnessing and employing the deep emotion that so often accompanies loss as Leanne guides 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

Learning Objectives

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

Dr. Fletcher’s Ethical Private Practice course was informative, engaging, and highly relevant to the realities of private practice. She is clearly knowledgeable and presents the material in a practical, approachable way. I’ve already made changes in my own practice based on what I learned in the course. I would recommend it to therapists in private practice.

“Attended Carrie Traher's course, 'Grief and Trauma in Clinical Practice: Tools & Strategies for Evidence-Based Care' through Leading Edge Seminars. Carrie's delivery, was masterful; you could feel what it might be like to be in session with her helping someone stuck in their Grief... she certainly helped me understand mine on a whole new level. This inforation provided was a clear, evidence-based framework for working confidently and compassionately with clients whose grief is intertwined with trauma. I cannot recommend this training highly enough, it's a game changer!”

I have attended Leading Edge programs for years. The topics are creative and the trainers are usually extremely skilled or they do not have them back again!! Never disappointed.

I have attended Leading Edge Seminars for many years for continuing education related to understanding and treating patients with mental health problems. High quality experienced speakers addressing a wide variety of timely topics are available live or recorded for reasonable prices. Their courses are accredited with major professional organizations. Most recently, I found a presentation by Robert Solomon: Legal Issues In Counselling to be excellent. In my opinion it would be of value for training new clinicians as well as updating practicing mental health professionals. Pertinent legal topics such as Consent, Capacity, Substitute Consent, and Negligence were clearly addressed with updated information, excellent references and adequate opportunity to ask questions. Very well done; very interesting. I do not hesitate to recommend Leading Edge Seminars to physicians, social workers and other professionals who deal with mental health issues in their practices.

Just attended: Navigating Retirement for Therapists with Integrity and Compassion" with Lynn Grodzki and Margaret Wehrenberg. It was very informative, pertinent and insightful. As usual, a workshop on the 'leading edge' of developments in our field.

So glad I attended the Retirement workshop with Leading Edge! The presenter's conceptualization of the process combining Stages of Change with Attachment Theory was a highly useful lens. It helped to place me solidly in Preparation for retirement which felt grounding. It will be very helpful to consider not only my client's attachment style, but my own as well. Also, new was to consider this termination process as a "forced" ending for clients. I thought of it like someone going though a break-up but it not being their idea. I also got some helpful ideas about what to add to my Professional will. Thank you!

I just attended Deb Dana's course, 'Polyvagal Theory in Clinical Practice: Healing Trauma Through Nervous System Regulation' through Leading Edge Seminars. Deb has brought into the therapy room the insights and understanding of our nervous system from the scientific work of Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory). It is another wonderful way to help guide clients out of survival-driven patterns and into states of safety and engagement. I highly recommend this course and anything that Deb Dana puts out to the world!

“I just attended Adrian Fletcher's course'Dissociative Identity Disorder in Clinical Practice: A Trauma-Informed Guide for Mental Health Professionals' through Leading Edge Seminars. The insights into how to build a more accurate, compassionate, and trauma-informed understanding of DID in my practice together with her own lived experience through diagnosis and therapy really deepened my competency in trauma-informed care. I highly recommend this course!”
