Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is an attachment-based approach that combines both systemic and experiential interventions to mend broken bonds and heal fractured families.

September 6 – 7, 2019

This workshop is designed for anyone who has taken an ICEEFT Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy who wants an upgrade. Using the Tango as the foundation of our work allows us to be less caught in our heads or caught in trying to remember steps or stages. I will show you the moves of the tango with different examples and we will practice using the form in mulitple ways. This workshop is designed to be fun and to invigorate your practice and refocus your EFT lens. Come and play with the EFT Tango!

9:00am - 4:00pm (One hour for lunch on your own)

Come and spend a day learning how to use the power of attachment and emotion in your work. This workshop is for any mental health professional who wants to enrich their counseling and psychotherapy practice.
