Certification Case Presentation Guidance

A list of suggested questions to refer to when writing a certification case presentation.
(kindly contributed by Helene Igwebuike)


1. The presenting problem from the couple’s perspective
           - Why they have come to therapy now?,
           - What do they each perceive to be the problem?
           - What do they each hope to get from therapy?
          and basic information about them.

2. Length of treatment: Number of sessions over period of how many months.

3. The number of the session you are presenting the recording of. 


4. Previous treatment history: Previous encounters with counselling/helping profession.

5. Significant Individual History:
         For both partners - discuss attachment style (avoidant/anxious), early attachment history/injuries
         (relationship with main carers and attachment/survival/coping strategies in close relationships).


6. Cycle Characteristics, exceptions to the rigid patterns and the strengths of their relationship
        Discuss their idiosyncratic negative cycle (e.g. Pursue/demand - Withdraw/Avoid);
          Describe their individual action tendencies using their own words and descriptions;
          their perceptions of self and other when caught in their cycle.
          Describe if they are able to exit or repair cycle or positive cycles in the relationship, e.g. still have      
​           sex.


7. Describe any significant attachment injuries in the relationship,
          - Identify whether or not these have been discussed in the sessions
            - Identify past betrayals of any kind.


8. Reframes used in the session
         - That is, how you have formulated their problems in terms of the cycle/emotions/attachment needs                      and fears e.g. reframing husband as scared of failing rather than indifferent to her needs.

9. Metaphors used in the session  e.g. throwing darts, walking on egg shells.

10. Code your EFT interventions
            - In your transcripts, you code label your EFT interventions
              e.g. [Reflecting her unmet attachment needs], Validating his experience.


11. Personal reflections to demonstrate your thinking and learning edges
           - What you struggled with,
             -  What you learned and your honest assessment of the impact of therapy,
             - What you might do differently if you had your time again, e.g heighten a certain experience more .
