This is the foundational and most comprehensive training and education in EFT, taught with a Created for Connection focus. A four-day Externship includes the observation of live and video recorded couple and individual therapy sessions, presentations of theory and clinical techniques, skills training exercises, and discussion of specific cases, clinical material and issues. Total training time for the four-day EFT Externship is around 28 hours.
This is the second step in EFT training and education focusing on the core skills of the EFT approach taught with a Created for Connection focus.. EFT Core Skills builds off of the four-day EFT Externship. This advanced training is spread out over four to five months (48 hours total). Each session is designed for a small group of 8 - 16 participants and includes practical instruction, experiential exercises, video examples, and case consultation.
