Information about the event:

Infidelity, with the core ingredients of emotional and/or sexual betrayal, is one of the most distressing and disorienting experiences a couple can encounter. The impact is visceral, powerful and traumatizing. The depth of the pain has profound implications for the initial reaction and perhaps even more so, for the healing that must follow. While the emotional bond can be torn and destroyed in a flash, healing and rebuilding takes time.

If you have experienced this in your own relationship, or navigated the path with clients, you know the journey can be turbulent, even tumultuous. Intense emotions open quickly.

Reactivity is the norm. As a therapist, you need a map. Staying present, attuned and balanced is essential as you guide the couple through the process. “Working with Infidelity” provides this map.

During this workshop you will learn the best our field has to offer.

We will open with an exploration of the brilliant, paradigm shifting Gottman “Atone-Attune-Attach” approach to treating affairs. This model offers clarity and wisdom about how to weather the storm, heal the hurt and rebuild the broken bond. Building on Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s seminal research about what makes relationships thrive, this model emphasizes the centrality of Trust and Commitment in the journey from betrayal to intimacy.

We will also focus on Dr. Susan Johnson’s, Emotionally Focused Therapy. This model offers a deep, attachment-based approach for treating the wounds of infidelity. Working effectively with “attachment injuries” requires opening and containing the initial panic, accessing the vulnerable primary emotions and guiding the couple to a more secure bond. The therapists presence and connection are essential to the process.

This workshop has a compelling clinical focus with a solid research base.

The main topics will be:

Understanding Infidelity: Affairs and Betrayal
Treating Infidelity: The Gottman Method & “Atone-Attune-Attach”
Treating Infidelity: Emotionally Focused Therapy & “Attachment Injury” Repair
The Trauma of Discovery: Working with Intense Emotions
Assessing the Damage & Identifying Strengths
Creating Safety & Healing Wounds
Establishing Trust and Building a Secure Base
Vulnerability to Intimacy: Creating Connection
Deepening Trust & Commitment

What will you learn?

Techniques to help couples deal with intense emotional reactivity;
To describe the Gottman “Atone-Attune-Attach” model;
The steps for working with infidelity from an EFT perspective;
Techniques to build emotional intimacy.

The US world deals with the subject of infidelity differently from the Italian world. My preparation and skills in dealing with this topic as a psychotherapist were poor. I have now acquired a method of working that I will certainly try out. Excellent lecturers

A splendid course, practical and clear in its content; masterfully delivered by two well-prepared speakers with visible clinical experience. It was the conclusion of a course that has given me valid and expendable tools to manage couples and their moments of crisis.
