CERTIFIED EMOTION FOCUSED THERAPY (EFT) TRAININGS

LIVE ONLINE TRAINING

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based therapy and has had a significant impact on the field of psychotherapy based on extensive research on client in-session processes that facilitate positive outcomes. EFT is also transdiagnostic psychotherapeutic approach as its interventions and principles can be adapted across different client populations and a variety of client issues. It has evolved into a comprehensive theory of functioning and clinical practice and focuses on working with a client's core underlying, painful emotions to transform emotional pain and suffering and promote enduring change.


This training is for licensed mental health professionals (example: psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, social workers). Students with therapy training and pre-licensed therapists are welcome. No prior knowledge of Emotion Focused Therapy is required.
