About the Training:

EFT Core Skills Training offers an in-depth opportunity to develop the core skills essential to the practice of EFT. In the overall context of the EFT Tango, each Core Skills session is dedicated to specific steps of the model and the therapeutic tasks and interventions characteristic of those steps. The first Core Skills training covers Stage One of EFT (steps one and two), the second covers Stage One of EFT (steps three and four), the third covers Stage Two of EFT (steps five, six, and seven for the withdrawer), and the fourth covers Stage Two of EFT (steps five, six, and seven for the pursuer).

There will be opportunity for participants to get feedback on a video of their own work with clients. Bringing your own video to view is necessary to meet the Advanced Externship requirement of certification.

*The scope of this training primarily focuses on couples' work, discussing the unique complexities and challenges in these dynamics. However, the interventions and theoretical framework can also be applied in family and individual sessions.

Learning Objectives:

Core Skills 1

  • Participants will be able to define the elements of the EFT Assessment

  • Participants will be able to create alliance with both partners of the couple

Core Skills 2

  • Describe EFT Cycle De-escalation

  • Perform skills in helping each member of the couple access unacknowledged feelings that influence the reactive behavior - Step 3

  • Perform reframing the negative cycle in terms of underlying feelings and attachment needs - Step 4

Please Note: Core Skills trainings must be completed in order (i.e. CS 2 is a prerequisite to CS 3). AREFTC generally provides opportunity to complete all 4 Core Skills within one calendar year. However, you do not need to complete them all within one calendar year - but you must complete the prerequisite Core Skill training before moving on to the next.
