From Loss to Resilience with Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)

From Loss to Resilience with Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)

Short Description of the training

Attachment theory and science offer a guide to understanding love and loss. Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), an attachment-based humanistic experiential therapy, provides clinicians with a roadmap and set of interventions to support and guide individuals as they begin their unique journeys from loss to resilience. In this workshop, join Dr. Leanne Campbell, Registered Psychologist and ICEEFT Certified Trainer as she explores, through the lens of attachment, some of the mystery and meaning of common terms and expectations surrounding loss, acceptance, letting go and moving on to name a few.

By request, Dr. Campbell also provides personalized results-driven ‘intensives’ (i.e., ‘boot camps’) for couples motivated to improve their relationship and/or address ‘attachment injuries’ related to infidelity, other significant life events and/or transitions (e.g., loss or trauma).

Known for her expertise in trauma, Dr. Campbell has provided hundreds of psychological assessment reports for forensic/legal and personal injury matters being considered before various levels of Court. She also is regularly called upon to provide expert opinion, as well as psychological evaluations for various insurance companies and bodies involved in adjudicating personal injury and other trauma-based claims. In addition to maintaining a full-time private practice, with a primary focus in the areas of relationship strain, trauma, grief and loss, Dr. Campbell currently co-manages a multi-site practice comprised of twenty-five clinicians and is a site co-ordinator for an Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) outcome study.
