Couples locked into repetitive and unyielding cycles of conflict come to therapy at a loss for how to break these destructive patterns of relating. In these cases, effective therapy requires not only knowledge, experience, and clinical grit, but skills specifically designed to meet the needs of these clients. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) provides just that. Clinician and trainer, Scott Woolley will teach you how to apply its core 5 Tango Steps through a live demonstration with real clients.

From a good relationship to one suffering from lack of vulnerability and fear of isolation, Jeannetta and Chris find themselves disconnected in the wake of a devastating medical diagnosis. Using in-the moment work with the couple, Woolley will show you how to gently and safely break down barriers, repair relational wounds, and re-build connection through validation, empathy, intentionality, curiosity, attunement, and therapeutic engagement.

Watch as Woolley uses skill and compassion to work with this couple, and field questions from a global audience with moderator Travis Heath. By the end, you will come away with a new, or perhaps renewed, confidence in your ability to work with couples divided by conflict. You will learn to effectively dance through these challenging sessions by applying the 5 tango moves of EFT, which include:
  • tuning into the present emotional process
  • deepening clients’ emotional experience
  • setting up clinical enactments
  • processing the enactment
  • summarizing and consolidating what occurred
Be courageous––join the dance with us––and be prepared to take your clinical work with challenging couples to the next level.
