Emotion Efficacy Training Online
About This Course
One of the greatest "superpowers" we can offer our clients is the ability to develop powerful and contextually adaptive relationships with their emotions. How people relate to their emotions day to day—even more in life-defining moments—determines the choices they make. Ultimately, these moments of choice become habits and patterns that chart the course of their lives.
As a third-wave cognitive behavioral therapy, the Emotion Efficacy Therapy (EET) protocol blends the psychological flexibility of ACT, the dialectics of DBT, and the experiential learning of exposure therapy into a brief trans-diagnostic protocol. The highly experiential online training will allow participants to leave the training competent to use the protocol with clients.
Participants will learn how to help their clients:
- Increase Emotion Awareness so they can observe all parts of emotional experience
- Practice Mindful Acceptance to surf emotion waves until they can access their values
- Identify what matters most and choose Values-Based Action instead of acting on emotions
- Use Mindful Coping when necessary to downshift emotions, tolerate distress, and/or access their values
- Practice using all skills in an activated state with structured exposure-based skills practice.
