NCCEFT Quarterly Meeting
Assembling My Resistance: Lessons Shared by
an EFiT Skeptic
Presented by:
Sam Jinich, PhD,
Certified EFT Supervisor and Trainer
SUBJECT:
Come join us on this interactive presentation on learning more about EFiT. Given our well-honed skills as couples therapists, we can understand the goals of EFT as being about moving into blocked emotions, and to change how these emotions are processed and regulated in ways that lead to new meanings. In EFiT, clients are helped to discover and validate inner emotional experiences that can be used as a guide for more secure living.
Using basic Gestalt techniques, EFiT therapists choreograph imaginal encounters with emotional realities, parts of self, and attachment figures in a fluid, organic way. Part of the collective emotional experience that is essential to change in EFiT sessions is that emotion and meaning become clear and ordered, leading naturally into a heightened awareness of both the implicit choices that we make as clients and new choice points that lead in new directions.
In this presentation, we will focus on Move 2 of the EFT Tango: Assembling Core Elements of Emotion and Deepening. I will show some taped examples of how it is done by EFiT therapists, and we will have opportunities to pair up in breakout rooms to practice some EFT skills and try our hand at EFiT.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Participants will:
A) Describe an attachment humanistic perspective on individual clients, problems, and interventions.
B) Explain the 5 moves of the EFT Tango to shape corrective emotional experiences.
C) Demonstrate how to discover and distill core emotional experiences to promote emotional balance (Move 2).
D) Describe and explain how to choreograph dramas that expand the self and open engagement with others.
E) Demonstrate attuned attention on an individual's cultural context and unique individual and multigenerational history, as well as their internal working model which makes choice and agency impossible as reactivity to immediate cues take over the client's life.
