Learning the Carer Skills of Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)

Learning the Carer Skills of Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)

About this event

Join EDFA to welcome clinical psychologist Claire Finkelstein, who will talk about an emotion focused therapy (EFFT) which carers can learn to apply within their families and with their loved ones with an eating disorder. EFFT has been a game changer for many of our parents and carers who have had success introducing it into their communications at home. This session will give members the opportunity to learn how to master the art of validation to increase connection with your loved one, and ultimately to contribute to their healing and recovery from an eating disorder.

The session will include a 30-minute Q&A with Claire and the audience.

For EDFA members only. As from 1st July 2023, membership is $35 Single / $55 Family.  Membership gives access to monthly online state-based strive carer support groups, twice-monthly EDucation webinars, an in-house library of 160+ eating disorder webinar recordings, Australian services lists for families and more.
