ONLINE EFT WORKSHOP: ATTACHMENT INJURY RESOLUTION MODEL

9:30 am-5:30 pm EST
Dr. Herman Chow, RP, RMFT, CCFT
Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor (EFIT, EFCT, EFFT)
CACFT Supervisor Mentor, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
Attachment Injury Resolution Model (AIRM) is the ninth instalment of the Online EFT workshops series that will hone your EFT skills. This workshop is for participants who have some working knowledge of EFT. AIRM is an evidence-based Stage 2 process of Emotionally Focused Therapy that promotes repair and recovery from attachment injuries in couple relationships. AIRM is built from the backbone of Stage 1 work (de-escalation and ownership of the injury) and early Stage 2 work (sufficient withdrawer engagement work). In this interactive workshop (based on Buchanan and Brubacher’s AIRM program), Dr. Herman Chow will break down each step of the EFT Stage 2 work so that the participants will have a clear understanding of the steps necessary to resolve attachment injuries. If you offer couple therapy and have couples who are stuck in their attachment injuries such as affairs, porn addiction, etc., you need to attend this workshop. Early Bird Ends July 30, 2024 This will count as 7 hours of CEUs for CACFT members and others. Please click here to learn more about this event.
