Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Trainer and couples therapy expert, George Faller, LMFT and certified sex and EFT therapist, Laurie Watson, PhD join forces to teach therapists the importance of helping their couple clients reach sexual and emotional security. Without comfort around talking about sex, therapists often avoid resolving this critical part of their couple’s lives.

Our goal is to help couple therapists understand how the emotional and sexual attachment cycles are integrated, help therapist become comfortable with talking about sex, learn a thorough sexual assessment, and work through blocks in the sexual cycle.

Topics:

• What is Great Sex?
• Anatomy and Physiology
• Integrate the Sexual and Emotional Cycles in Practice
• Sexual Assessment
• When/How/Why to Bring Up Sex
• Stage 1 &2 Change Events
• Working with SAC (Sexual Attachment Cycle) Blocks

The workshop will include lectures and interactive break-out sessions.

Success In Vulnerability is George Faller’s tailor-made website designed by ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Trainers and Supervisors to facilitate your “deliberate practice” in line with common factor research showing what separates ‘good enough’ therapists from excellent clinicians. Common factor research suggests that clinicians can improve their outcomes by 50% via deliberate practice. “Top performers don’t wing it, they push themselves to the edge and they consciously and deliberately plan for what they’re going to do next. They plan, rehearse, and reflect on their work” (Miller, 2013). SV is designed to provide the most targeted and efficient use of your out-of-session practice time, focusing on the most difficult and most essential points of psychotherapy. Success In Vulnerability is your premier, online education experience that leads with innovative instruction to advance your therapeutic effectiveness through Success In Vulnerability’s exclusive Modules and full-length Clinical Examples.

If you feel like sex just isn’t worth the effort, you’re not alone. Forty million American women are frustrated by their lack of sexual passion. They know something’s missing—and their husbands know it, too—but the emotional, physical, and mental obstacles to healthy desire can be a knot that seems too tangled to unravel.

Drawing on twenty years of clinical experience, Laurie Watson shows that it really is possible to restore the thrill of sex, using proven psychological methods and personal accounts from actual therapy sessions. Her strategies will:

•Offer a glimpse into the reality of other people’s bedrooms
•Address the sexual problems that can develop with life changes—from marriage to motherhood to menopause
•Uncover the hidden factors that impact desire—stress, cultural messages, emotional connection, chemical and hormonal challenges, physical appearance issues, and more
•Show how joyful, meaningful, satisfying sex can be yours again

Candid, practical, and much needed, this book can help you rediscover your sexual self or discover it for the first time. Instead of dreading bedtime, you can look forward to it again.
