NCCEFT Annual Fundraiser
EFT Stage 2 Change Events:
Getting Clearer, Going Deeper
Presented by:
Renowned EFT Certified Trainers
Kathryn Rheem, EdD, LMFT &
Marlene Best, Phd, Psych
SUBJECT:
Explore the Stage 2 change events (withdrawer re-engagement and pursuer softening) including the essential skills needed to help your couples re-structure their bonds. Through teaching, videos and exercises, we will help you learn how to heighten each partner’s emotions, when to incorporate “parts” work including view of self and view of other, and how to help each partner complete the risk, reach and response that is vital to successfully shifting their interactional pattern. Since completing both change events can be a challenge, self-of-the-therapist issues will also be explored.
OBJECTIVES:
a) Recognize the underlying primary emotions and
attachment needs of withdrawing and pursuing partners.
b) Utilize Steps 5, 6 and 7 in EFT to create a Stage 2 restructuring of attachment bonds .
c) Apply experiential techniques and skills that help access, heighten, and process primary emotions.
d) Use EFT interventions to help each partner complete the risk, reach, and respond that is vital to successfully shifting their interactional pattern.
e) Incorporate “parts” work including Views of Self and Other
f) Recognize and anticipate common challenges in facilitating Withdrawers in Stage 2
