What is an EFCT Externship?
The Four Day EFT Externship is the most comprehensive and basic level of training and education in EFT, taught by an ICEEFT registered trainer. An externship includes observation of live interviews, presentations of theory and clinical techniques, skills training exercises, and discussion of specific cases, clinical material and issues.
What will I Learn?
Participants will learn to see marital and relational distress from an attachment perspective, help partners reprocess the emotional responses that maintain relational distress, shape key new interaction and bonding events, and overcome therapeutic impasses.
Who Should Attend?
The Externship is recommended to all professionals who counsel couples and work with relationships, including psychiatrists, psychologists, family physicians, social workers, psychiatric nurses, counselors, pastors and clergy, and students training in these professions.
