Masterclass: Working with ADHD impacted couples in EFT

Masterclass: Working with ADHD impacted couples through the EFT lens

The ICEEFT-approved masterclass « ADHD through the attachment filter » focuses on navigating ADHD couples through EFT to help them create connection, trust, and safety. The two-day training teaches participants to recognize and lead the tango with these couples. The course covers recognizing ADHD symptoms and their effects on relationships, helping partners externalize the problem and understand its role in their cycle, identifying the primary emotions of ADHD couples, and applying EFT principles for de-escalation and integrating psychoeducational and normalizing information in sessions. Video clips of standard EFT interventions will be used. The case where the therapist is ADHD affected will also be looked at.
