Master Class – Diversity and Inclusion Across the Tango
We are excited to offer this training. Why you might ask? Because we have been passionately engaged with EFT for a long time and live lives that have and do expose us to the worst when we are not included – being stopped by the police, receiving death threats, assumptions about our abilities and intelligence based on skin color, sexual orientation, and languages spoken, others using words/position/privilege with the intent to harm, being outed, living in a country without basic civil rights protections, the millions of microaggressions that have been the backdrop of our lives, and the list goes on. We have also long been researching and attending to issues of identity, culture, and inclusion in our lives and clinical practice for a long time.
This 2×4 hour workshop will be delivered online and not only broaden your understanding of the EFT Tango but deepen your engagement with all clients. The very heart of our work is to be accessible, responsive, and emotionally engaged (ARE) and we extend this work to being intrapsychically, interpersonally, AND culturally ARE. How do we assess and work with the impact of racial trauma? What do migration stories tell us about attachment narratives? How does minority stress impact view of self and view of other?
The three experienced leaders of the workshop will provide video examples, lead experiential exercises, offer clear conceptual frameworks, and provide opportunities to explore and practice in a safe environment. You will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of diversity and inclusion across the EFT Tango, a better understanding of how to locate where you are in the work in each session with the Tango, and a greater understanding of how to attune with your clients.
