The Brisbane Centre for EFT is proud to host ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainers Dr Robert Allan (USA) and Dr Sandra Taylor (UK) for an 8-hour workshop, Queering EFT: LGBTQ+ Folx and Emotionally Focused Therapy!
This 8-hour workshop will enhance your self-awareness, knowledge, and skills in using EFT effectively with LGBTQ+ clients. The knowledge, skills, and awareness needed for an EFT practice with LGBTQ+ folx needs to incorporate the ways that we continue to be oppressed and discriminated against. This impacts the way we live our lives, including our relationships with ourselves and others. Despite this there is still little LGBTQ+ centred training for therapists and this workshop helps to address this gap.
It is aimed at therapists who have completed a minimum of an EFT Externship and are affirming of LGBTQ+ relationships.
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to:
- Explore aspects of their own sex, gender, sexual orientation and their responses to others,
- Practise EFT focused on LGBTQ+ examples,
- Identify three impacts of minority stress on LGBTQ+ relationships,
- Name two ways minority stress impacts attachment strategies,
- Understand the role of EFT as a resource for coping with sexual orientation and gender-related discrimination through emotion assembly, deepening, and sharing,
- Integrate four (or more) questions into their assessments that explore identity(ies), and
- Identify three LGBTQ+ affirming strategies within EFT
