Dealing with Difficult Situations in EFT
This workshop focuses on dealing with difficult (interpersonal) situations in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). The emphasis is on those moments when our usual therapeutic practices reach their limits.
In addition to specifying these difficulties in more detail, concrete approaches will be developed from an EFT perspective. The focus is less on techniques and more on basic therapeutic attitudes—in particular, congruence.
The workshop is a repetition of the workshop held in October 2025, which received such positive feedback.
