Externships

We emphasize small group exercises throughout the week. Each small group will have an experienced helper in their group facilitating the learning process at all times.

Externships in EFCT: Four day externships in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy are held throughout the world. All externships are taught by certified EFT trainers.

An externship inlcudes observation of live interviews, presentations of theory and clinical techniques, skills training exercises and discussion of specific cases, clinical material and issues.

Who should attend?
The externship is recommended to all professionals who counsel couples, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family physicians, psychiatric nurses, counselors, pastors, clergy and students training in these professions.

Participants learn to:
See marital distress from an attachment perspective, help partners reprocess the emotional responses that maintain marital distress, shape new key interactions and bonding events and overcome therapeutic impasses. Participants are strongly encouraged to read the 2004 book on EFT- Creating Connections, before attending externships. Ideally participants will also have viewed the first training tape- Healing Broken Bonds
