Emotional Nutrition

with Marty Babits, LCSW, BCD

Saturday, May 13th, 2023 from 10am-1pm

Offered virtually via Zoom!

Approved for 3 CE Credits!

Can a relationship that is riddled with disconnection be nurtured back to emotional health?

Emotional Nutrition™ builds on and enriches the framework of attachment theory.      

How can we identify healing experiences that can help partners establish or re-establish connection?

What is an emotional nutrient? What is an essential emotional nutrient?  Is there such a thing as an inessential emotional nutrient? Spoiler alert: Yes, there is.

The answers to these questions and many others will be coming at you in the upcoming workshop.

The presentation will include:

• Video of dramatized therapy sessions

• Issues highlighted
  • Opening a relationship
  • Learning to use Emotional Nutrition strategies

• Clarifying misunderstandings

• Break-out discussions

• Q & A
