In this two hour online workshop participants will:
Get an in-depth feel and understanding for the world of neurodiverse people.
Learn about different sorts of trauma neurodiverse people can carry as a result of being atypical.
Gain understanding of how to work with neurodiverse clients using both the attachment framework and the EFT Tango.
Have a chance to practise of how to lean into clients’ neurodiversity when using the EFT model to help create a solid alliance and ultimately secure attachment.
Bio:
ICEEFT trainer, supervisor and therapist. M.A., Dip Counselling, Dip. Teaching, MNZAC.
I have been an educator and therapist all my adult life, and it is my passion to help both my supervisees and clients to work and live in a securely attached way. Before I embarked on my therapist training in 1990 in New Zealand, I gained a M.A. and a Diploma in Teaching in Germany. Working as an EFT trainer now combines my skills of teaching and therapy beautifully.
In my trainings I work with warmth, humour, and structure and aim to keep in mind participants’ different learning styles and pace to create a learning environment where people feel safe, heard, and seen.
