Unfinished Business refers to unresolved emotional pain (such as hurt, anger, shame, complicated grief, resignation, or hopelessness) related to unmet needs from past relationships, often with a parent, caregiver, or significant person. These longstanding emotional wounds stem from experiences such as chronic neglect, emotional abandonment, the absence of warmth and caring, criticism, the experience of not being allowed to be who you are or not being accepted for who you are, experiences where support or love are conditional, or fear of an attachment figure who has been emotionally or physically abusive. 

Unresolved feelings from these experiences can result in emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, shame, unresolved grief, or damage to one's sense of healthy identity and self-esteem. Clients with complex unfinished business often feel stuck in a cycle of bad feelings that do not resolve, and these feelings are easily triggered in current situations and relationships. 

This workshop is designed for therapists who want to learn the foundations of working with unfinished business. It is developed by Dr. Serine Warwar, co-developer of an evidence-based Emotion Focused Therapy treatment for resolving emotional injuries and a world-renowned expert on EFT. Video-recorded clips of real therapy sessions will be used to illustrate key principles and interventions.
