    "How to work with Shame and Anger Beyond Coping Skills"

Note:  In-Person

Shame and anger are both highly painful emotions that are the source of many mental health disorders and often are found to be difficult to face by therapists and clients alike.  Unhealthy, maladaptive shame results in feelings of worthlessness and self- contempt, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, problematic emotions such as unhealthy anger or rage, and substance abuse/unhealthy coping strategies, which becomes a new source of difficulties. Although healthy coping skills are useful when emotions are overwhelming, transformation of these unhealthy/maladaptive emotions is the ultimate goal of an effective therapy.

To facilitate emotional transformation, we need to learn how to

recognize different types of shame and anger (adaptive/maladaptive, secondary, instrumental), learn how to work with them differentially, and how to access new, adaptive emotions to transform the maladaptive shame and anger.

In this presentation different skills in assessing different emotion

types will be described, and different interventions used in

facilitating access to new adaptive emotions will be discussed.

Material presented is based on Emotion Focused Therapy approach,

a transdiagnostic approach to treatment, drawn from decades of

research on emotions from multiple perspectives. Video recordings

of real therapy sessions are used to demonstrate interventions and

skills used.

Learning Objectives

In successfully completing and attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Identify 4 different types of shame and anger; primary adaptive, primary maladaptive, secondary, and instrumental.
2. Describe 4 interactions between shame and anger. 
3. Describe 3 adaptive emotions in changing maladaptive shame.

Presenter:

Ladan H. Safvati, LMFT, ATR, Certified EFT-Individuals Therapist and Supervisor is the founder and director of Southern

California Institute of Emotion Focused Therapy. She has received extensive training in Emotion Focused Therapy with individuals and couples since 2012 with Dr. Leslie Greenberg and Dr. Robert Elliott, Co-founders of Emotion Focused Therapy. Since the establishment of the SoCal Institute of EFT in 2017, Ladan has organized, hosted, facilitated, and co-presented many workshops and experiential EFT trainings by the originators of this approach which attracted participants from around the world. She is an international EFT-I supervisor certified by the International Society for Emotion Focused Therapy (ISEFT) and provides EFT-I individual and group supervision to therapists from around the world. She is also running free monthly EFT support groups on Zoom to support therapists improve their emotion processing skills. In her private practice, Ladan works with individuals suffering from emotional distress regardless of their diagnosis. She believes that people are not defined by their diagnosis and have internal resources that needs to be accessed. With her empathic approach and EFT skills, she facilitates transformation of clients’ unhelpful/maladaptive emotions by helping them access their healthy/adaptive emotions and their internal resources more often. She incorporates EFT approach in working with couples and relationship difficulties, and with parents on parenting skills.
