Click to RegisterYou will be participating in small group study with lots of opportunities for experiential learning. We will study together, do role plays, watch lots of videotaped sessions and share the EFT journey. In a core skills series, we will schedule 2 live sessions (pending availability) and each participant will have an opportunity to present their work to the group.
We will use didactic instruction, case presentations, role-plays and video review to help you to become more intentional and focused with the EFT model. In module one we focus on building relationships in the therapy, assessment, and beginning to track the negative interactional pattern. In module two we focus on working with and deescalating the negative cycle. In module three, we deepen our work with withdrawers and beginning of stage two. In module 4, we deepen our work with pursuers and stage two. In the 5th weekend, we will integrate all of this learning so that you are more grounded and confident and we will explore special topics.
