Working with Betrayal Trauma from an Emotionally Focused Therapy Perspective

Course overview

September 1, 2023 Live Webinar Betrayal trauma poses one of the most fragile and challenging presentations to psychotherapists. Where do I begin? How soon post-discovery can any work be done and if so what in the early stages? What can I do in the context of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and exactly what is a stage one attachment injury conversation? Questions such as this as well as boundaries around questions, disclosure, affair termination and more are topics for early acute stage work. This training will focus on the complexity of treatment at this stage and what can be done to begin to work through the trauma of intimate betrayal within and Emotionally Focused Therapy perspective.
