This is the follow-up course to Foundations of Emotion-Focused Therapy. If the advanced empathic skills taught in Foundations help the clinician to accurately land with the client in their immediate experiencing, this is a course on staying with that experience. This means carefully and sensitively facilitating contact with various experiential elements, including sensory perception, narrative, meaning, bodily-felt sense, emotion, need, and action tendency.
The course is comprised of lecture, discussion, demonstration, and lots of experiential practice.
Topics Include:
- Schematic Emotional Memories
- Systematic Evocative Unfolding
- Experiential Focusing
- Empathic Affirmation
- Relationship Ruptures
- Trauma-Related Considerations
What: A course on facilitating the deepening of client experiencing.
