When Clinicians Get Triggered: An Emotion-Focused Workshop for Transformation and Growth

Join us for a half-day workshop inspired by theory and practices from emotion-focused modalities.  It is normal for clinicians to be impacted by our work with clients and/or their family. When this occurs, our access to our instincts or fund of knowledge is temporarily "blocked" by nervous system activation. Our personal life can also be affected. This workshop will offer a container for clinicians to engage in self-care practices while engaging in personal and professional development. Tools, techniques, and supervision interventions will also be reviewed to support clinicians to regain access to their clinical intuition on their own or with peers. 

*This workshop is recognized by the International Institute for EFFT for one day of in-person training.

What to Say to Kids When Nothing Seems to Work: EFFT Caregiver Workshop (clinicians welcome)

Does your child or loved one—young or adult—suffer from anxiety, depression, substance use problems, an eating disorder, or other mental health concern? Do you struggle with their behavior and/or setting limits? Inspired by Emotion-Focused Family Therapy – and with a healthy dose of humor - this evidence-based workshop will introduce practical skills to strengthen relationships, increase cooperation and respond to strong emotional reactions, including expressions of worry, anger, hopelessness, even silence. The workshop will focus on one of EFFT's most powerful and foundational tools, emotion coaching, for use with kids, teens and even between co-parents.

Two-Day EFFT Core Clinician Training - 12 CE Credits

The essence of EFFT is to afford caregivers a role in their child’s recovery, regardless of their age, level of motivation or involvement in formal treatment themselves. The clinician’s role is to support parents and caregivers to increase their involvement in three domains including behavior coaching, emotion coaching and in the use of therapeutic apologies, if relevant.

A fourth module involves supporting caregivers to identify, understand, and transform “emotion blocks” that can lead to therapy-interfering attitudes or behaviors in caregivers. The training will introduce clinicians to the theory and skills involved in the approach. Dr. Lafrance will engage participants using didactic and experiential learning, including skills and techniques that can be integrated into existing treatment models for those clients & families who do not respond to standard care.
