Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) for Attachment Trauma: Transforming Psychological Wounds for Adult Clients Traumatized as Children

There is no greater betrayal than trauma inflicted by a caregiver.

When understood as aftershocks of broken attachment bonds, our clients’ anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms make perfect sense.

The problems our clients have with emotion regulation... with decision-making... with self-esteem... with relationships – when we tie them back to core attachment injuries, they tell the full picture of a child whose needs for connection were never met.

What if there was a way to quickly get to the heart of the matter and heal those early traumas? To give our clients not just the relief of symptom reduction, but also the lasting stability and resilience of repaired, secure attachment?

Based on decades of groundbreaking research, Dr. Sue Johnson’s emotionally-focused model offers a simple, proven 5-step attachment-informed process to create predictable, repeatable, and lasting change with individual therapy clients.

In this training, you’ll learn about EFIT directly from its developer Dr. Sue Johnson, along with senior trainer Dr. Leanne Campbell. Get the skills you need to offer your clients healing experiences in every session as you:

Assess core attachment injuries and related symptoms
Apply interventions from the five steps of the EFIT Tango to create emotional balance
Model safety as a surrogate attachment figure to restore trust in self and others

PLUS, you’ll have the rare chance to watch Drs. Johnson and Campbell talk through and demonstrate key clinical decision points with their own clients!

Whether you’re new to EFIT or already using it, you’ll walk away with practical insights, strategies, and interventions you can use immediately in your practice.

Helping Clients Manage Unhealthy Family Relationships: A Drama-Free Approach

When is a client’s family member too toxic to keep? When is it worth it to heal a longstanding family rift? For many of our clients, their families are a source of ongoing pain, hurt, and conflict. It’s not always easy to maintain healthy, positive connections with family members who have different ideas about loyalty, love, connection, what’s appropriate to share, and how much influence they believe they should have over a family member’s personal choices. For therapists, it can be hard to know what to do when clients struggle with intense ambivalence about family members. In this session, you’ll learn:

How to help clients resolve ambivalence about difficult and unhealthy family relationships and know when to stay and when to go
How to know when an apparently abusive relationship can be salvaged through healthy communication and boundary setting
Clear ways for identifying dysfunctional family patterns and choosing the best path to break painful cycles and move forward

Program Information

Objectives

Identify the most common presenting problem of clients with dysfunctional family issues.
Help clients understand that they can't change other people and refocus instead on developing the skills most likely to improve their relationships.
Teach them how to manage difficult relationships by practicing different techniques—such as respectful assertiveness—that can alter negative relationship dynamics.
Reduce the discouragement and fatigue clients often experience as they work through dysfunctional family dynamics by helping them set boundaries and prioritize self-care.

To Forgive or Not to Forgive? Releasing the Pain of Relational Trauma

Forgiveness is often a triggering and complicated issue, particularly as it relates to relational trauma or complex PTSD. Some clients don’t want to forgive their abusers, even after they’ve severed all ties. Others hold onto anger and resentment but stay in unhealthy relationships. And some will forgive and struggle with not getting what they’d hoped for as a response. In this session, we’ll explore different dimensions of forgiveness: when it's premature and when it’s forced, when it's used to avoid feelings of pain and betrayal, whether it's necessary to fully heal from abuse, whether it serves the victim or the perpetrator, and when it leads to true acceptance and freedom. You'll discover how to help clients:

Release the wounds that another has caused, so they’re freed to no longer carry the trauma inside
Heal and name their internal wounds by learning to speak up for what they know to be true
Determine whether forgiveness may be helpful for them to fully heal from relational violations

Program Information

Objectives

Propose three steps required for forgiveness to be achieved by someone who has been relationally violated.
Catalogue the core components of healing relational wounds.
Assess the qualities of resilience that are necessary for clients to overcome complex PTSD.

Outline

Explore the various dimensions of forgiveness as an area of clinical concern
Explore when forgiveness is used to avoid feelings of pain or betrayal
Determine whether forgiveness is necessary to fully heal from abuse
Understand whether forgiveness serves the victim or the perpetrator to improve clinical outcomes
