This workshop will focus on therapeutic techniques Dr. Muller has developed specifically to help the traumatized individual who is avoidant of attachment.Case examples and segments from treatment sessions are interwoven throughout. Role-playing exercises are used for skill building purposes.

Building on the latest research conducted by Dr. Greenberg and his colleagues, an intensive 4 day training institute in couples therapy will be held from Nov. 6 - 9, 2012. This training provides registrants with in depth skills training through lecturettes, video demonstrations, modeling and role-playing practice. The workshop will cover the 5 stage 14 step expanded model of EFT-C focusing on attachment and identify needs and self-and other soothing. As an emotion-focused therapy we focus on how to work with emotions such as anger, sadness, fear and shame. Participants will be asked to identify key interactional cycles in their own primary relationships and work on undoing these by accessing their own primary underlying emotions in the training. To maximize this form of experiential learning, enrolment is strictly limited to 27 participants. This Institute is only offered every other year.
