Certification

Track 1

4 day Externship

The Advanced Externship plus 32 hours of supervision (up to 24 hours can be group). Eight of the supervision/consultation hours must be individual consultation hours provided by a certified EFT Supervisor.

Following the required training and supervision hours, the applicant must present a detailed case presentation with case conceptualizations and two 20 minute recordings to ICEEFT for review. The recordings are to be either: (1) a video recording or (2) an audio recording accompanied by a written transcript with the interactions labeled.

Track 2

4 day Externship

The Core Skills Training. Core Skills meets both the advanced externship and the group supervision hours requirement. Eight additional hours of individual consultation are required.

Following the required training and supervision hours, the applicant must present a detailed case presentation with case conceptualizations and two 20 minute recordings to ICEEFT for review. The recordings are to be either: (1) a video recording or (2) an audio recording accompanied by a written transcript with the interactions labeled.
Supervision in EFT/EFFT is offered by Registered EFT Supervisors and is available on an individual or group basis. Group supervision can also be accessed through teleconference or core skills training. The key principles of EFT clinical supervision are:
A positive working alliance between the supervisor and supervisee is fostered – safety enhances learning.
Modeling is available: the supervisor actively demonstrates EFT interventions (e.g. demonstrates attachment language and non-verbal behaviors of EFT).
Observation of therapy sessions occurs or transcripts are examined. Role plays with feedback give opportunity for rehearsal.
Feedback to supervisee is clear, focused, supportive, and congruent with 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).
These principles were formulated with the help of Lisa Palmer-Olsen and the work of Eugene Mead.
