Robert Solley, PhD; EFT on a Spectrum

NCCEFT Quarterly Meeting

EFT on a Spectrum:  

Skill-building for Working with High-functioning ASD Clients

Presented by:

Robert Solley, PhD

Summary:

Though charming and interesting in their own ways, Asperger’s (or High-functioning Autistic) folks can be confusing and frustrating for many “neurotypicals,” especially as partners!  In this presentation Dr. Solley will detail about a dozen key traits that distinguish the ASD mind so that participants can better recognize and work with these individuals through an EFT lens. Explicit strategies for both therapists and partners will be described, as well as integrating with attachment concepts and the steps and stages of EFT
