Transforming Shattered Bonds: Addressing Affairs and Attachment Injuries with EFT’s Attachment Injury Resolution Model

When: March 29-30, 2019, Friday and Saturday 9am-5pm
Where: Smith College Conference Center, 51 College Lane, Northampton, MA
Instructor: Lorrie Brubacher, M.Ed., LMFT, RMFT

This two-day workshop is an advanced master class in Emotionally Focused Therapy designed to address the “never again” moments that can interfere in a couple’s healing process.

These deep attachment injuries often surface as the content that never goes away, the apologies that never makes the mark, the incidents that resurface again and again no matter how much time has gone by. Lorrie Brubacher, M.Ed, EFT Trainer, has developed, together with Dr. Lillian Buchanan, a training program that demonstrates Dr. Sue Johnson’s elegant and comprehensive treatment approach to effectively help couples resolve and repair these attachment injuries.

The Attachment Injury Resolution Model (AIRM) is a necessary part of every EFT therapist’s toolbox, and Lorrie Brubacher will lead us through each step and intervention with a mix of didactic, visual, and experiential learning. Come join us in learning the roadmap for repairing relationships devastated by betrayal and bonds shattered by broken trust. A live consultation specific to an attachment injury is planned with a case presentation for role play as an alternative.
