DESCRIPTION
Betrayal trauma poses one of the most fragile and challenging presentations to psychotherapists. Many questions arise along with a myriad of concerns that are unique to the hurt partner.
Where do you even begin to unravel the damage betrayals cause to relationships?
How soon after a betrayal discovery can any work be done?
What's most helpful to couples in the early stages of therapy?
When and how should an emotionally focused therapist conduct attachment injury repair conversations?
Hot topics considered include, emotional containment in session, proper boundary setting in respect to questions the hurt partner asks the offending partner, the affair disclosure process, structuring clear affair termination, and more that pop up in the early stages of treatment.
This training focuses on the complexity of early acute treatment and the guidelines for how to begin working through the trauma of intimate partner betrayal within the Emotionally Focused Therapy model. You will learn to be as effective as possible in working with betrayal trauma.
We'll explain the hurt partner's reactions and behaviors from a neuroscience and "bonding" science perspective while covering the following:
Video demonstrations, lecture, PowerPoint, and interactive Q & A will be used to model and practice using the EFT interventions to put working with betrayal trauma in action.

Video demonstrations, lecture, PowerPoint, and interactive Q & A will be used to model and practice using the EFT interventions to put working with betrayal trauma in action.
Program Objectives:
1. Identify betrayal trauma and how it presents in a clinical setting.
