SOFTENING IN COUPLE THERAPY: (NEW WORKSHOP)
A TWO-DAY PRACTICE-BASED WORKSHOP with STEVE LIONELLO 8 & 9 November 2024 (9.30am – 4.30pm)
There is thirty years of extensive research support for Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. One of the key in-session elements of EFCT is helping couples to soften – to move from repeating negative patterns of often harsh or distanced interaction to a more intimate and vulnerable connection.
Join STEVE LIONELLO in a two-day workshop focused on strengthening your thinking and practice with softening in couple therapy. This is a practice-based workshop focused on the five step in-session process of Emotionally Focused Family Therapy. The workshop will be interwoven with more demonstration, practice & experiential elements, and minimal formal presentation, with opportunities for participants to practice new skills in a safe environment, in large & small group format.
Included: the five in-session ‘moves’ of EFCT; working with emotion in couple therapy; working with conflict & distance; building intimacy, friendship and romance.
*This workshop is a follow-on from the two-day softening workshop held in March this year. It is open to participants of that workshop, and to those who have completed other two-day couple therapy workshops with Steve or Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy Training. Please contact Steve 0403 029 387 or stevelionello@bigpond.com if in doubt about registering
