In this webinar, master clinician and founder of emotion-focused therapy (EFT) Leslie Greenberg will share his insights and tips on how to work productively with emotions in psychotherapy.

Emotion processing is rapidly being recognized as a trans-diagnostic process. This webinar will begin with a discussion of emotion processing and provide tips for how to enhance it in therapy. The importance of working with automatically generated amygdala-based emotion, by means of emotional awareness, emotional expression and emotion transformation, will be emphasized. The use of moment by moment process diagnosis to identify adaptive and maladaptive as well as primary and secondary emotions will be discussed. Different ways of enhancing emotion processing will be presented and exemplified with video-taped examples. Participants will be introduced to the skills of moment by moment empathic attunement to affect, following the pain compass, focusing on bodily felt feelings, unblocking of emotions, and re-experiencing the past in the present.

Learning objectives:

- Understand when to activate and when to regulate emotion.

- Learn to identify different types of emotional expression.

- Learn skills to access emotions to make them amenable to change.

- Learn how to change emotion with emotion.

- Understand how to facilitate re-experiencing the past in the present.
