EFFT therapists focus on th e emotional experience within a family and the problem patterns that block family members from accessing the resources they would otherwise share. A primary goal of EFFT is to reduce problematic behavior by creating new pa tterns of emotional accessibility and responsiveness that offer a secure b ase for children to develop and families to thrive. EFFT provides a practi cal approach to engaging families at an emotional level. Accessing\, proce ssing\, and connecting family members through the power of emotional exper ience promotes healing and fosters a family’s resilience to the everyday and unexpected challenges of life.\n\nThis workshop will demonstrate how the EFT model of working with couples is extended and modified to fit the family context. Attention will be given to how EFT practice with families is different and what additional skills are needed. Participants will lear n a powerful transformative approach that is foundational in helping paren ts and children who are struggling with remaining securely attached.\nKey differences between Sue Johnson's EFFT and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy: \n- Our approach focuses on transforming patterns and blocks related to em otional engagement.\n- Our approach is rooted in attachment processes\, in cluding caregiving and meeting attachment-related needs.\n- Our approach f ocuses on working through relational blocks with parents and children in s ession together.\n \;\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\nGail Palmer\, RMFT\, MSW is one of the founding members of the Ottawa Couple and Family Institu te and Co-Director of the International Center of Excellence in Emotionall y Focused Therapy.
