In this meet-up we will practice Empathic Affirmation and Validation. This is one of the basic skills in Emotion Focused Therapy and at the same time one of the most important skills in all therapy models. At the practice meet up we will focus on evocative moments where validation is necessary but often challenging.
For example, we may practice responding in an empathic, validating and affirming way when your client is expressing anger, desperation or idealising you as a therapist.
This practice meet-up is cohosted by two Society members: Anna-Maija Kokko and Wendy Insalaco. Anna-Maija is president of the IDPS and a certified DP coach. Wendy is a specialist in addiction Therapy and compassionate care.
The exercises used in the meet-up can also be found in the book “Deliberate Practice in Emotion-Focused” Therapy By Goldman, Vaz, and Rousmaniere
