Training in EFT: An Overview
The power of EFT is that it is proven to work. Research outcomes show EFT is effective in helping couples recover from marital distress 70-75% of the time. A whopping 90% of couples participating in EFT report improvements in their relationships.
EFT EXTERNSHIP
The EFT Externship teaches the science and skill of this well-organized model. It is delivered by our certified ICEEFT (International Center for Excellence in Emotional Focused Therapy) trainer Dr. Ting Liu. (see more about Dr. Liu here)
The Externship is the first step to learning EFT.
At the Externship participants will learn to:
- View relational distress and emotional disorders from an attachment perspective
- Help partners reprocess emotional responses that maintain emotional dysfunction and relationship distress
- Shape new interactions and create bonding events that build secure connection with their partners
- Overcome therapeutic impasses
The Externship will include presentation of attachment theory and research, instruction in EFT clinical technique and skills, training videos demonstrating Dr. Liu using EFT in action, role plays for participants, and discussion of specific cases and clinical issues.
It is also the first step to becoming EFT certified. (To learn more details about Externship click here) (To learn about EFT certification click here).
Where do I begin?
EFT CORE SKILLS TRAINING
If you have completed the Externship and feel like you can’t get enough of EFT you are one of many! If you are interested in wanting to advance your knowledge of EFT and strengthen specific core skills, join us for Core Skills training.
In a series of four, two-day segments participants will learn, within the safety of a small group (10-15 participants), about more in-depth about EFT Assessment, Stages, Steps, and interventions.
Instruction is both didactic and experiential so that participants can immerse in the experience of learning and practicing EFT. Our ICEEFT certified trainer, Dr. Liu, will present video recordings, and EFT trained volunteers will guide participants in group exercises and role plays. Participants will also be guided how to record their couples and present their own work via video recordings.
