Do you have difficulty with challenging clients that never seem to be making progress?
Where the process of reconnecting is very chaotic and complicated?
In this two-day presentation we will focus on working with couples with personality disorder. The diagnosis personality disorder can be understood as the result of multiple traumatic experiences together with insecure attachment. In a couple one or both partners can have trouble regulating their emotions. This problem is a result of (earlier) emotional neglect and/or abuse. In couples with this type of behavior, emotional connection is longed for and at the same time felt as too dangerous. Often there is a pattern of disorganized attachment. The partner is experienced as either too close or too distant. This leads to highly reactive emotions, and a loss of mentalizing capacity.
In this masterclass we will look at ways to help these struggling couples with EFT. EFT helps to regulate the intense interaction if done with diligence and in a slow and steady pace. Working with trauma demands patience and trust in the model. This masterclass will help guide you in staying on track when it comes to muddled emotions.
We will look at how we can help clients: regulate their intense emotions, stay in their window of tolerance and mentalize their emotions. We will also look at the challenges for the therapist in staying hopeful and remaining within their own window of tolerance.
We will look at tapes, do roleplays, and an opportunity to discuss therapist’s cases where possible and appropriate. This masterclass is suited for participants who have a basic understanding of Dr. Sue Johnson’s EFT model and who work with challenging clients. If you are interested in this masterclass but have no EFT background, we encourage you to contact us and discuss how we can offer you EFT introduction options where possible.
