OVERVIEW

This 2-day workshop is designed by Dr. Leslie Greenberg and Dr. Antonio Pascual-Leone, leaders in the field of psychology. It is aimed at mental health professionals from various training backgrounds who wish to acquire specialized skills in processing emotions productively in psychotherapy. Video-recordings of therapy sessions will be used to illustrate client processes and interventions. For those who are not able to attend the broadcast, a recording of the workshop will be available for a period of time.

OBJECTIVES

Through didactic and experiential learning, participants will learn how to:

• Assess a client’s unique emotional processing style and emotional processing difficulties
• Facilitate emotional awareness, symbolize emotions, and deepen emotional experience using different interventions  such as focusing, enactments and evocation
• Work with obstacles to productive emotional processing
• Guide a step-by-step emotion sequence to transform unproductive emotional states into productive emotional processes
• Promote memory reconsolidation and emotional change by meaning-making, narrative elaboration, and co-creating new narratives to foster meaningful changes
