Unlocking the Mystery of Pursuer Softening
Presented by:
Jennifer Olden, LMFT, Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor
SUBJECT:
We can all appreciate the difficulty of working with a pursuer who is having difficulty softening, despite their best intentions.These folks can pose a challenge for even the most seasoned clinicians, especially in Stage Two.
During this interactive event we will watch video clips of EFT trainers working with couples in Stage Two, with commentary provided by Jennifer Olden MFT. We will watch seasoned clinicians deepen emotions, transform blocks into openings, catch bullets seamlessly, and then facilitate enactments that create deep content and in-the-moment change.
Time will allow for us to work with partners with the goal to make the process of pursuer softening in Stage Two clean, measurable, and doable.
Having a didactic and experiential presentation will allow us to walk away with a fresh approach to integrate the moves necessary for a successful pursuer reach.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Participants will:
1) Learn how to stay with the pursuer's process, be directive as necessary, and shore up the withdrawer so he/she can reach back with support.
2) Be able to describe pursuer's step 7, including the Possible Blamer Reach, Processing Fears of Reaching, View of self and View of other and the Actual Reach.
3) Practice through role plays with other participants how to move out of content into attachment longings, frame complaints as reaches for closeness and connection, and help the pursuer send a clear and vulnerable attachment message.
