Session #: 788-041
Presenter(s): Susan Johnson Session Length: 5 hr. 00 min. Event: 2008 Conference Date: December 8-14, 2008
This workshop offers participants the wisdom gained from our new scientific understanding of love and from 25 years of research and clinical practice in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). The first part of the workshop will present a clear picture of romantic love as the natural arena for personal health, resilience and growth. The second part will guide participants into four conversations to enhance relationship: Recognizing Demon Dialogues, Finding Raw Spots, the pivotal Hold Me Tight conversation and Forgiving Injuries. And finally, we will sum up the attachment perspective on love and loving and offer a number of ways to keep love strong. Better communication, more effective problem solving, more empathic caring and improved sexual relationships are just some of the improvements associated with a more secure bond.
