Masterclass EFT: processing emotional pain using the Extended Focusing Task
Masterclass EFT: processing emotional pain using the Extended Focusing Task
A model for safely work with and processing trauma and emotonial injuries
The challenge for therapists working with trauma is to create an experience of safety that enables clients to engage in the exploration emotional experiences which have previously been too distressing to approach. Often clients withdraw from therapy when their emotional experience whilst ‘doing the work’ becomes too overwhelming for them, the effects of trauma leading to a therapeutic rupture.
In this experiential workshop, learn how to create the safety in the therapeutic space that enables clients to transform their emotional experiences using the Expanded Focusing Task, as outlined in Melissa Harte’s book Processing Emotional Pain Using Emotion Focused Therapy: A guide to safely working with and resolving emotional injuries and trauma. This therapeutic approach supports clients to feel sufficiently safe and empowered to stay in therapy and embrace the possibility of change. It can have profound impacts on the lives of people living with the consequences of trauma and help them to feel empowered by their emotions and better equipped to live an enriched life. This training will include trauma intervention principles and the foundations for safe trauma processing, key EFT skills for working with trauma and a step-by-step guide to using the Expanded Focusing Task.
