EXTERNSHIP IN EFT

The Externship in EFT is the basic four-day training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and a pre-requisite for all other trainings.  It includes an overview of all aspects of the model including steps and stages, interventions, adult attachment theory, and application of EFT with couples and families. The Externship material is taught with a variety of teaching methods including lecture, interactive discussions, role plays, video demonstrations and live session consultations. The Externship is the pre-requisite for all other trainings in EFT.

Who Should Attend?
The Externship is recommended for all types of mental health clinicians who counsel couples. This training is specifically focused on the use of EFT with couples. 

Brief Objectives:
Externship participants learn how to view relationship distress from an attachment perspective, help partners reprocess the emotional experiences that led to their relationship distress, help couples create new bonding events, and work with clinical impasses.  Participants will learn the steps and stages of the model, interventions most commonly used, and how to work with each couple's underlying interactional pattern.  

Participants are strongly encouraged to read Sue Johnson’s (2004) Creating Connections, the basic text of EFT, before the start of the Externship.
