| What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)? |
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a short-term, goal-oriented therapy that helps couples improve their emotional connection and resolve conflict. EFT is based on attachment theory, which posits that our early relationships with our caregivers shape how we relate to others in adulthood. When our attachment needs are not met in our adult relationships, we may experience emotional distress and engage in negative patterns of interaction. EFT therapists help couples identify and understand the negative cycles that contribute to their distress. They then help couples learn new ways of communicating and relating to each other that promote emotional safety and connection. EFT has been shown to be effective in helping couples improve their relationships, and it is a widely accepted and respected form of therapy. |
The ICEEFT four-day Externship provides an overview of the entire EFT model, including stages of treatment and the moves of the EFT Tango. Gain the tools to see which patterns keep clients stuck in distress, and learn how principles of attachment theory translate to organic, on-target interventions. Backed by 30 years of empirical research, guide your individual, couple, and family clients to see change in every session. Duration: 4 days, 8 hours per day (includes breaks) CE Credits: 28 hours |
