Finding your wings on the wind.
I’ve been asked to do a presentation on emotions and I’d like to find out what the common viewpoint is. Please take a moment to anonymously answer these questions:
Which emotions to you tend to fight or struggle with? Why?
Which emotions do you wish you could feel more often?
What emotions would you say were good? bad?
When you leave a comment - just use anonymous as the name and a bogus email address like emotions@claiminggreatness.cc. The email may not even be required…
I’m attending a conference in May from which I expect to take away a great deal. It promises that “participants learn to see marital distress from an attachment perspective, help partners reprocess the emotional responses that maintain marital distress, shape new interactions and bonding events, and overcome therapeutic impasses.” I like best the explaination that what happens in this mode of therapy is the process of helping the couple fall in love again.
You can get an overview of the method by visiting http://www.psychpage.com/family/library/eft.htm or http://www.eft.ca/home.htm. But an easier introduction can be had by reading Sue Johnson’s book Hold Me Tight.
I’ve updated my webpage to better represent me as a student seeking to become a therapist. Check it out and let me know what you think. www.claiminggreatness.cc
