The Key Principles of EFT Clinical Supervision are:
A positive working alliance between the supervisor and supervisee is fostered because safety enhances learning.
Modelling is available: the supervisor actively demonstrates EFT interventions (e.g., demonstrates attachment language and non-verbal behaviours of EFT).
Observation of therapy sessions occurs or transcripts are examined. Role plays with feedback give an opportunity for rehearsal.
Feedback to the supervisee is clear, focused, supportive, and congruent with the supervisee’s stage of learning.
Specific elements are pointed out for the supervisee to improve or work on.
Written theory and techniques of the EFT model are referred to and taught in relation to practice (e.g., steps, stages, interventions, experiential and non-pathologizing approach).
Please also keep in mind that in order to be certified as an EFT therapist, you need to have had 8 hours of individual supervision by a Certified EFT Supervisor, Trainer or approved Supervisor Candidate.. (Individual supervision may be with two people.) Also, four of these eight hours may be in a group supervision setting as long as the supervisee is presenting their own work with the undivided attention of the supervisor.
Accredited supervision can be obtained from the following certified supervisor and supervisors-in-training. The latter refer to people who have been approved by ICEEFT to train as supervisors.
