     CULTURAL HUMILITY & EFT Tango Moves

    Presented by:

    Paul Guillory, PhD EFT Trainer, Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor

    When: October 21, 2023  

    Where: First Presbyterian Church, 2407 Dana Street, Berkeley, CA   

    Subject:

    With this presentation I would like to demonstrate the use of EFT Tango moves with a diversity

    of couples, and engage our community in a discussion of cultural humility. Each clinical example

    will highlight how cultural competency (largely my challenges) might enhance the Tango moves.

    Culture identity is typically treated as a demographic category. By extension, the internal

    working model of cultural identity is a clinical blind spot. In my book Emotionally Focused

    Therapy with African American Couples, I have suggested that therapists work most effectively

    with Black couples (and BIPOC) when they have a conceptual model for cultural matters,

    including internalize wounds, dynamic cultural identity, and racial stress. Case studies and

    video clips of clinical interventions will illustrate the work.


    Learning Objectives: 

    At the end of this presentation participants will be able to:

    1. Demonstrate two ways cultural identity might be integrated in the emotional experience in

    Move Two of the EFT Tango.

    2. Discuss three ways the EFT Tango process might include culture.

    3. Describe two ways cultural stress might be revealed in EFT couples therapy.

    4. Discuss three ways that including culture in our formulations & interventions matter when

    working with couples and EFT.

    While NCCEFT works to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be occasional issues which will require intervention and/or action on the part of NCCEFT. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such complaints.

    1. If the complaint concerns a speaker, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the complaint will be asked to put his/her comments in written format. The CE Program Director will then pass on the comments to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the aggrieved individual.

    2. If the complaint concerns a workshop offering, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, the CE Program Director will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action during a workshop or conference, the CE Program Director or his/her representative will:

    a. attempt to rectify the situation, and/or

    b. provide a credit for a subsequent presentation, in the event of a program having an attendance fee or

    c. provide a partial or full refund of the registration fee, in the event of a program having an attendance fee.

    Actions 2b and 2c will require a written note, documenting the grievance, for record keeping purposes. The note need not be signed by the aggrieved individual.

    3. If the grievance concerns the business practices of the NCCEFT CE program in a specific regard, the CE Program Director or Administrator will attempt to arbitrate.
