Complex trauma, refers to repeated exposure to threat of violence, including domestic violence (as victim or witness), and childhood abuse. This workshop particularly focuses on complex interpersonal developmental trauma related to childhood maltreatment. Reactions to these experiences appear to be much more complicated and are often classified in terms of cumulative trauma disorder.
Emotion-Focused Therapy for Complex Trauma
Emotion-Focused Therapy for Trauma (EFTT) is based on an empirically-verified model that identifies steps in the process of resolving past relational issues. This model has more than twenty years of research involving clinical trials, observation and analysis of therapy sessions, as well as extensive clinical experience which demonstrates its effectiveness for healing complex trauma. Successful therapy requires helping clients access and explore painful feelings in order to modify maladaptive emotions. This two-day workshop is designed for partitioners who has no prior exposure to Emotion-Focused Therapy.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the nature of complex trauma and the central role of emotional processes in disturbance.
- Understand the EFTT treatment model and how therapy addresses central features of disturbance.
- Understand intervention guidelines for the phases of therapy and corresponding therapeutic tasks, including cultivating an empathic therapeutic alliance; promoting emotion regulation; reducing fear, avoidance, and shame; accessing anger and sadness.
- Understand interventions to help clients safely confront trauma feelings and memories (with and without chair-work) and construct more adaptive meaning regarding self, others, and traumatic events.
