In this small group experience, participants will have the opportunity to review the EFT for couples’ model (EFCT), watch training videos, share their work, and practice their skills. The three stages and nine steps are covered and the Tango is used to guide clinical interventions. The tone of the group is one of safety and supportiveness.

It is recommended that therapists take this course when they have a caseload of at least a few active couples so they can practice the skills they are learning between core skills sessions. Although not mandatory, participants are welcome to present a case for feedback and are asked to let the trainers know in advance if they would like to take advantage of this opportunity.

Participants will learn to:

• Use an attachment framework
• Track and deepen emotion in the here and now
• Create bonding events
• Practice the interventions that create change in EFT

Group size is limited to 15.

Fee: $2,000
