Emotionally Focused Therapy – Externship Training

Pathway To Certification

To become EFT certified participants need to undertake three training events in chronological order:
  1. Externship
  2. ​Core Skills Level: 1
  3. Core Skills Level: 2

Externship Training

Prerequisites: Participants MUST be qualified mental health professionals or be in training to become qualified. Participants need to be legally allowed to practice as a mental health professional in the country in which they are practising. ​
This four-day training is the first step towards becoming a Certified EFT Therapist.  It is followed by the four-day Core Skills 1 training and then the four-day Core Skills 2 training.

The Emotionally Focused Therapy Externship gives practicing therapists a globally successful model from which to guide their therapeutic work with couples, individuals and families.  Evidence-based and well-researched, Emotionally Focused Therapy is a therapeutic practice which has developed alongside theories of adult attachment and bonding.

​In accordance with attachment theory and practice, Emotionally Focused Therapy at its heart believes relationships are at the core of human experience.
Externship participants learn to:
  • Use theories of attachment and emotion to conceptualise relationship distress and repair
  • Build strong therapeutic alliances
  • Use positive levels of validation to support careful attunement
  • Access underlying emotions which make people feel vulnerable in close relationships
  • Become conscious of the emotional forces underlying repetitive destructive cycles
  • Create powerful enactments to shape new patterns of engagement.
 
Following Externship training is Core Skills Level: 1 and Core Skills Level:2. If you have any questions about this training please email our Trainers Yve Gould or Heike McCahon by clicking on their names.
