Working Through Caregiver Self-Blame- EFFT Therapy with Adele LaFrance

EFFT research has demonstrated that when parents carry self-blame, not only do they suffer but their caregiving can be negatively affected as well. In fact, when self-blame is deep, typical strategies to lift self-blame, including reassurance, may be ineffective or even counter-productive. This training will provide clinicians with a theoretical foundation supported by a series of cognitive and emotion-focused strategies to transform caregiver self-blame. Benefits of these interventions include: · Reduced shame and self-blame · Better quality of life · Decreased defensiveness · Increased sense of empowerment / engagement · Increased access to caregiving instincts This session is for any clinician who would like to learn strategies to incorporate with the families that they work with.
