People are hard-wired for connection. When attachment longings are not met, people experience distress, and do what they have learned to do to stop the distress.
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) makes the distressing patterns understandable, and the therapeutic work doable. EFIT teaches therapists to see emotional triggers through an attachment lens. The distressing patterns are slowed down. Clients feel more stable as they learn to understand their triggered emotions and reactions, and create corrective emotional changes. Some clients suffer from attachment trauma. Their cycles are difficult to slow and stabilize because people are terrified. People remain stuck and in emotional pain, re-experiencing attachment trauma when their attachment needs are not met. EMDR is a powerful intervention, used to resolve traumatic memories, allowing people to feel calmer.
In this workshop, EFIT steps for stabilizing distressing patterns are taught and practiced. EMDR and the Body Protocols designed by Catherine Lidov, and Safe State Protocol by K. O’Shea are taught and practiced. How and when to weave body based EMDR very slowly into the moves of EFIT will be taught, modeled, and practiced. The instructor of this workshop has been weaving EMDR into the steps of EFT, and EFIT and has found EMDR helps to reduce the immediate stressful re-experiencing of attachment trauma, allowing clients to benefit from EFIT. Clients stabilize and more fully engage so as to create secure bonds.
