“Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy®" offered by ICEEFT with trainers James Hawkins and Cindy Zane is a comprehensive and experiential training opportunity for mental health professionals interested in deepening their understanding and skills in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Emotionally Focused Therapy is a well-established model with a solid empirical foundation that focuses on the emotional bonds within relationships. The four-day externship will provide participants with a rich learning experience, including:

·      Observing Real Couples in Therapy: This allows participants to witness the application of EFT principles in action, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of real-life therapy sessions.

·      Practical Skill Development: Participants will practice and enhance their EFT skills through experiential exercises. This hands-on approach is crucial for integrating theoretical knowledge into practical application.

·      Identification of Stuck Patterns: Understanding and addressing the patterns that keep clients stuck in distress is a crucial aspect of EFT. Participants gain insights into recognizing and working with these patterns effectively.

·      Attachment Science Integration: The training emphasizes translating attachment science principles into targeted interventions for individuals, couples, and families. Attachment theory is foundational to EFT; understanding it is essential for effective therapy.

·      Empowerment for Therapists: The goal of the externship is to leave participants feeling empowered and well-prepared to facilitate growth in their clients during each session.

 The combination of live or recorded therapy sessions, practical exercises, and a focus on attachment science provides a holistic approach to learning and applying EFT. Participants will gain theoretical knowledge and valuable tools that can be immediately used in their therapeutic practice.

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

*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.

In this training, participants will gain practitioner-relevant insight into the E.F.T. model, including attachment injury repair. The training will begin with a brief overview of the E.F.T. and A.I.R. models, including a review of the importance of early sessions in building an alliance and charting the therapy course. An overview of the C.A.R.E. model (a model that guides clinicians in attending to four main channels, Context, Attachment, Relationship/Therapeutic Alliance, and Emotion at the outset of treatment and throughout the therapy process) will also be covered in this training.

The focus of the training will then shift to center on working with emotion with a focus on the interventions central to E.F.T. - the Tango. Following this, participants will be guided through the three-stage treatment process, focusing on the three key change events (stabilization/de-escalation, withdrawer engagement, and pursuer softening) as they pertain to attachment injury repair.

Key markers within the roadmap will be identified, and the potential roles of shame and racial tensions in contextualizing and resolving attachment injuries will be delineated. Finally, the importance of consolidation and integration will be reviewed in the context of the overall E.F.T. and Al models, with attention to C.A.R.E. and to the key role of grief in facilitating the redefinition of a safe haven and a new narrative.
