Testimonials

Extremely knowledgeable and fun to listen to. While the content was dense and potent, it also moved me on a personal level and I was dramatically impacted... I feel like I have significantly more room for empathy for the clients I work with because of this externship.

- Externship Participant

Excellent presentation and experience! The combination of presentation, processing and practice made the model very digestible.

- Externship Participant

Absolutely outstanding. The very energetic presenters were not only skilled in the material, but kept it interesting, funny, light when it needed to be, took us to some deeply poignant places and all at the same time, helped us really crystallize the most salient points paying special attention to the potential for overwhelm. It was obvious an incredible amount of thought was put into the layout, presentation, structure, and support for all attendees on all levels. From the attendees perspective, it is easy to see that it is not an easy feat to pull off and on top of that, create a climate of such inclusivity, intimacy and warmth to boot.

- Externship Participant

As the presenters were teaching the model, they were actually doing the model so you really really felt it! I think also helped to contribute to an environment where people felt really really comfortable to engage, which made the experience so much richer.

- Externship Participant

This was the most personal and professional impactful training I've taken as a counselor.

- Externship Participant

It was an excellent training! I’ve attended and provided lots of training and this was really superb. One of the best I’ve attended in the last 25 years.

- Externship Participant

Just a really outstanding presentation… it is obvious these are gifted presenters and I struck gold! On another note, there was a special warmth to Arkansas EFT.

- Externship Participant

I had high expectations. Still, I am overwhelmed. This is one of the best classroom experiences I've had. Thank you.

- Externship Participant

“This wasn't just a training, it was an experience. The facilitators and trainers were 100% engaged and enacting the model at every moment. It wasn't just a slog of information, it was witnessing and experiencing EFT at deeper levels every day.”

- Externship Participant

“This is so much more than just a training, it's an experience. What better way to learn an experiential model than with a training that leaves you personally moved and professionally energized! There are too many strengths to mention them all!”

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

"EFT is a structured approach to couples therapy formulated in the 1980's and has developed alongside the science on adult attachment and bonding to expand our understanding about what is happening in couple relationships and to guide therapists.

In the last fifteen years, Dr. Johnson and her colleagues have further developed and refined the model and completed numerous studies. EFT is also used with families and individuals. A substantial body of research outlining the effectiveness of EFT now exists. Research studies find that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements. For more information on EFT research, please see http://www.iceeft.com/index.php/eft-research .

The major contraindication for EFT is on-going abuse in the relationship. EFT is being used with many different kinds of couples in private practice, university training centers and hospital clinics and many different cultural groups throughout the world. These distressed couples include partners suffering from disorders such as depression, post traumatic stress disorders and chronic illness."
