Experiential Groups Practice for Couples on the Brink & SCV

Time: 11:00 am-1:00 pm CT
Outside Study: 1 hour
Didactic Presentation: 2 hours
Educator: Sarah Cowan

Description: This training aims to provide opportunities for observation and practice of the therapeutic interventions previously trained in the Couples in Crisis series in order to foster the integration and embodiment of the left brain education. Client sessions and experiential role plays will be focused specifically around the presenting issues of ambivalent couples on the brink as well as couples engaging in situational couple’s violence.

NOTE:

Please pull your notes from these two previous didactics as you prepare and listen to this week’s Pre-Didactic Material.

Optionally, you may re-watch the training so that as you listen to the training podcast and prepare yourselves for practice, you are fresh about the content and protocols.

*If you missed either of those Didactics, please use your PD time to also make that up in order to be trained for this week’s experiential groups.

While these trainings equipped us with interventions, tools and protocol suggestions for managing these resistant and complex cases, I want to encourage us all to integrate these tools in a way that is authentic and still true of the EFT therapy you provide your couples. The Pre-Didactic podcast discusses how to confront resistant clients who are stuck by reflecting back their attachment dilemma. We can utilize that move and this language even as we are reflecting the dilemma of their ambivalence and the dilemma of the couple’s violent reactivity against one another. We hope that this training both empowers you, links your skills together with your existing mental map, and provides you with more confident language to set clear treatment plans for couples in these escalated and resistant places of their marital cycles. We look forward to watching sessions together and discussing next week as a team, and then breaking out into groups for your own practice.
