This workshop will introduce participants to specific process markers and intervention strategies that are designed to enhance the integration of narrative and emotion processes for emotion regulation, working alliance and new meaning making in effective EFT psychotherapy. Using therapy examples drawn from the York I Depression Study, four narrative-emotion problem markers (same old story, empty story, unstoried emotion, and broken story) will be described and effective intervention strategies discussed. Additionally, the importance of  facilitating the emergence of  three narrative-emotion emergent meaning markers (unexpected outcome story, untold story, and healing story) for new identity construction and meaning-making in EFT will also addressed. 

Participants earn 3 continuing education (C.E.) credits through Division 32 (Society for Humanistic Psychology). Division 32 is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Division 32 maintains responsibility for this program and its contents.
