Transforming the Ripple Effects of Intergenerational Trauma with Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) Webinar
Date: Friday, September 27th, 2024
Time: 12 – 1:30PM (EST)
Where: Zoom
Presented by: Leanne Campbell, PhD.
*Live participants are eligible to earn 1.5 CEU*
Purpose:
The purpose of this webinar is to introduce participants to EFIT, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy as it applies to those struggling with the echoes of trauma, with a focus on intergenerational trauma.
Session Description:
In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the transformative power and potency of emotion in impacting the ripple effects of intergenerational trauma. Attachment science and an Experiential Humanistic approach offer a map that simplifies how we view and frame personal and relational trauma, and how we intervene across the three-stage therapy process. The ‘experiential process-based assessment’ offers the therapist a window into the context in which clients live and have lived, including the intergenerational context, and helps chart the therapy course toward a felt sense of security with self and others – the pathway to symptom resolution and the antidote to trauma.

She’s coauthor, with Susan Johnson, of the first basic EFIT text, A Primer for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT): Cultivating Growth and Fitness in Every Client and is co-author of Becoming an Emotionally Focused Therapist: The Workbook.
