ChCh 3 & 4 September
Relationship Services Whakawhanaungatanga is bringing leading trainer,
supervisor, teacher and researcher from the United States Dr. Rebecca
Jorgensen Ph.D. out to NZ for this 2 day training event on "Emotionally
Focused Therapy".
This is an opportunity for members to learn of a leading approach
to couples work in America and Britain that combines the approaches
of attachment theory, systemic thinking and experiential practice.
EFT is founded on the work of Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg. It
has developed a significant body of research to support its effectiveness,
and is one of the most empirically supported approaches to couple
therapy. It is one of the few therapy modalities specifically recommended
by John Gottman for working with couples.This approach is quite
different from Emotional Freedom Techniques which also use the acronym
EFT.

Motherhood, despite being perhaps the most foundational and influential
force in our lives, is an often overlooked concept when it comes
to political discussion, child development, or the meaning of work.
This conference
aims to enliven the myriad of perspectives and feelings behind the
institution of motherhood, while simultaneously connecting the voices
of mothers and the dots of policy.
Our keynote speakers,
Naomi Stadlen from London and Anne Manne from Melbourne, will speak
to the themes of ‘Mothers Talking’ and ‘Mothers
Questioning.’ Anne
& Naomi will discuss the material of their books, as well as
the energy that occurs when mothers can be brought together in discussion
- not division - and the subsequent change that can occur on a societal
level when we begin to question while maintaining that forged connection.
Additional morning plenary
- ‘Mothers Listening’ - with Lauren Porter and afternoon
plenary - ‘In Defence of Mothering’ - with Elisabeth
Muir. Afternoon sessions feature workshops with Carrie Cornsweet
Barber, Vicki Culling, Irene deHaan, Simone Degiorgio, Pauline Hopa,
Jocelyn Johnstone, Ella Kahu, David Tipene Leach, Ruth Martis, Barbara
Sturmfels & Claire Wright. Participants will get a choice of
two.
The event will be held
at the AUT Tech Park Conference Centre in Auckland. In addition
to the main hall, there will be a conference room with real-time
video and audio broadcast so that mothers/caregivers attending with
babies or small children can participate without worry.We look forward
to an enriching and enlivening day.
Conference begins at 8:30am and concludes at 5:00pm.
Cost is $195, including all food and workshops.
