Couseling Center Hosts Workshop

he Counseling Center recently hosted a day long workshop by Dr. Rhonda N. Goldman, PhD. on Emotion Focused Therapy. Dr. Goldman is associate professor of Clinical Psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Schaumburg, Illinois and a therapist affiliate of the Family Institute at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois where she conducts psychotherapy with both couples and individuals. She has co-authored three texts on emotion-focused therapy. The workshop focused on helping therapists work with the problematic emotional processes that drive the problems that bring clients to therapy, and began with discussion of the role of emotion and emotional awareness in function and dysfunction. Participants were introduced to the skill of moment-by-moment attunement to affect, and the use of process

The major principles of emotional change were discussed, including emotional awareness, expression, regulation, reflection, and restructuring. The 24 participants included counseling employees, with various credentials, from Kentucky and Tennessee.
