Created for Connection®
Workshop
"We are created to be connected beings; through the understanding of the science of love and the wisdom of faith we can learn how to be securely connected.”
Sue Johnson
The Created for Connection® Workshop applies Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a science-based system of therapy, to facilitate positive relational outcomes in adult couples. EFT is a well-researched and effective model of treatment. According to the American Psychological Association, 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and as much as 90% show significant improvement in their relationships when utilizing this approach.
The CFC workshop will provide
-
An opportunity to understand the ways in which relationships get stuck in the same old argument.
-
An understanding of the experiences or emotions that are triggered below the surface in the moment of disconnection.
-
The opportunity to practice revisiting these hurts in a fresh, safe, new way.
-
The ability to practice communicating your emotional needs to your partner and create new ways of connecting that strengthen your bond.
*This workshop is approved for 13 Continuing Education credits for Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage & Family Therapists. There is a small, additional fee for CEU credit.
What to Expect
-
Facilitators will introduce and explain relationship science based on material associated with Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy work (we strongly suggest that you read Created for Connection® prior to attending the workshop).
-
Couples will be able to work with each other and practice material learned with as much assistance from facilitators as is comfortable.
-
There is no pressure to share with the group, and all practice work will be with your partner.
*Created for Connection® workshops are not for couples in extreme distress; this would include current abuse, active addiction, and/or current/ongoing infidelity. Please contact the Mental Health Hotline - 988.
