Here’s what Your Colleagues Say:

“I really liked seeing the LIVE couple demonstration, it’s a tremendous application of theory through EFT – it really works, because I saw it work.”

“The facilitators were wonderful, energetic and very knowledgeable. It was also very helpful to see the actual sessions with real couples.”

“Content is really well balanced between learning and experimenting. A well run workshop, thank you.”

“The training was very beneficial because I’ve never experienced EFT and want any information that will help me be more effective.”

“Loved this! Thank you! Big take away is tying myself to the the mast of attachment.”

“When the topic and training is top caliber and value is extensive then I will find a way to attend, thank you.”

“This was absolutely amazing! Very grateful.”

EFT has lots of science behind it. Arguable, EFT is the most empirically validated couples counseling out there.  We expect this training to sell out, please consider registering early. Space is reserved on a first come – first serve basis. 

Here’s what to Expect:

This is an official EFT level 1 training; what is also called an EFT Externship. Attending this Externship is the first step to being listed on the ICEEFT website, where clients go to find trained EFT therapists. It is also a step towards becoming a Certified EFT Therapist.

In this Externship, you will learn how to:

• See relational distress from an attachment perspective
• Help partners reprocess the emotional responses that maintain relationship distress
• Shape key new interactions and bonding events
• Overcome therapeutic impasses

This online training provides an in-depth overview of the EFT model. Didactic presentations, case examples, breakout sessions, demonstration videos, small group exercises and discussions will provide participants with an engaging learning experience. Training occurs in a unique co-created learning community.  Role-play work facilitated by trainers and experienced EFT clinicians including Certified EFT Therapist(s).

Here’s what NOT to Expect:

You won’t get 5 days of dry power point presentations! This is not your ordinary training.

This training weaves together didactic presentations, demonstration of the model through videos of the EFT masters, live session(s) of couples, small group activities, role-plays and a vibrant St. Louis community learning. Come join us.
