This intensive four-day EFT Training Institute is designed to deepen participants’ competence in Emotion Focused Therapy for individual psychotherapy. Building on Level 1, the institute focuses on refining emotion-focused interventions and developing greater confidence in working with complex emotional processes.
Training includes advanced work with self-interruption, anxiety, depression, self-criticism, emotion regulation, self-soothing, and unfinished business.
Participants will also strengthen their skills in emotion assessment, identifying productive and unproductive emotional processes, and collaborative case formulation through the observation of videos of an extended therapy case across multiple sessions.
EFT is a well-established, evidence-based approach that views emotional change as the foundation of lasting therapeutic change. By helping clients transform maladaptive emotional patterns through the activation of adaptive emotions within a strong empathic therapeutic relationship, EFT promotes emotional resilience, a stronger sense of self, and healthier relationships.
This highly experiential training combines brief lectures, extensive clinical video demonstrations, supervised small-group practice, live coaching and modelling interventions, as well as feedback to help participants integrate advanced EFT skills into their clinical practice.
Who should attend: Licensed psychologists, registered psychotherapists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, counsellors, other regulated mental health professionals, and graduate students.
 Through this advanced intensive training participants will:
- Deepen their understanding of EFT theory and advanced clinical practice.
- Refine skills in assessing emotional processes and facilitating productive emotional processing.
- Master advanced two-chair interventions for self-criticism, self-interruption, and anxiety.
- Learn advanced unfinished business interventions, including age regression, imaginal re-entry, and transformation.
