Emotion Focused Group Therapy (EFT-G) Training

Have you noticed how many of your clients struggle with shame, fear, and isolation underneath their symptoms of depression or anxiety? Imagine the impact of having clients meet one another in a safe and supported environment where their ‘real selves’ have room to surface and connect with each other.

In this training, participants will learn how to utilize individual EFT interventions in a group setting to undo aloneness and meaningfully reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. This workshop blends didactic instruction and experiential participation in a facilitated training group. This group model, based on the prior work of psychologists including Dr. Susan Wnuk, Dr. Joanne Dolhanty, Dr. Adele LaFrance, and Dr. Leslie Greenberg, is generalizable to evocative experiential therapies with a focus on working in real-time with emotional experience and expression (e.g. EFT, IFS, AEDP).

 

This training will focus on the following key areas

  • Exploration of the unique benefits of individual therapy in a group setting
  • Brief overview of emotion theory and interpersonal group theory and their application to Emotion Focused Therapy Groups (EFT-G)
  • Guidelines for client selection
  • Structuring your first, middle, and end groups
  • Review of modifications to EFT’s Critic Split Task and Unfinished Business Task for group settings
  • Exploration of preliminary group process markers and interventions
  • Overview of a comprehensive group model
  • Review of EFT group outcome data
  • Experiential components include:
    • Video review of an intake session
    • Experiential exercises suitable for a first group
    • Participation in demonstration groups led by the trainers through the lens of the client role and the therapist role

Voor wie?

This training is aimed at clinicians who are very comfortable providing individual experiential therapy and are seeking to increase their skills and confidence in facilitating group therapy processes involving a combination of individual and group therapy segments. Our hope is that, by the end of the training, assuming that you already feel comfortable with EFT or another experiential modality as an individual therapist, you will feel confident to launch your own experiential therapy group!
