The workshop will focus on developing central skills of Emotion-focused therapy. We will break into two sub-groups to practice the methods and have live supervision of this practice. The emphasis in the training will be on the use of chair dialogues. We will form two subgroups of 6-8 people and people will work in the small groups as therapist, client, and. The best way to learn to work with emotion is to train working with your own and others emotions. In the training we therefore invite you to work experientially in a safe, confidential, environment on personal concerns, at a level at which you feel comfortable, and receive live supervision. In this process the trainer will supervise at specific junctures in the process, modeling what he would do at that point in order to deepen and facilitate the process.

Empathy: Empathic exploration; Empathic Evocation; Empathic Conjecture
Focusing: Paying attention to the bodily felt-sense; The bodily felt shift

DAY 1 ONLY OPTION
This workshop will begin with a discussion of the role of emotion and emotional awareness in function and dysfunction. The importance of working with automatically generated amygdala based emotion will be emphasized. The use of process diagnosis in an emotion-focused approach to identify both adaptive and maladaptive emotions and primary and secondary emotions will be discussed. Differential intervention based on process diagnosis will be demonstrated. Three major principles of emotional change in psychotherapy Emotion, Awareness, Regulation and Restructuring will be discussed. Videotaped examples of evidence based, methods for evoking and dealing with emotions in self-criticism and trauma or emotional injuries from the past with significant others will be presented and discussed. Access to emotions such as empowering anger at violation and sadness at loss, as well as alternative sentiments toward the self, help people modulate their affective reactions and this helps them combat feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness, contempt and shame. This leads to change in self and self-other narratives. Research studies have supported the importance of emotion-focused work.
Participants will be introduced to the skills of moment by moment attunement to affect, focusing on bodily felt feelings, and the use of gestalt methods of dialoguing with parts of self and imagined significant others in an empty chair.
A three-phase model for working with emotion in therapy will be presented.
- Bonding Phase: Empathic attunement to affect
- Evoking Phase: Evocation and arousal of emotion
- Transformation Phase: Undoing emotion and developing a new narrative
