"Powerful and unique! This in-depth and thorough course is an amazing resource for all couple therapists. Seeing so many examples of seasoned EFT therapists working with real couples is invaluable to really understand the subtleties and depth of this approach; I heartily recommend it."

Dr. Sue Johnson, EdD
Developer of EFT; Director of International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy

"I never knew learning could be so much fun. Like a riveting movie, these master therapists engage us, and take therapists on an inspiring journey that will greatly increase their effectiveness and confidence in doing couples therapy. This is a must-see for every therapist working with couples."

George Faller, LMFT
Founder of New York Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy

"An invaluable resource for anyone working with couples. These videos are a rare opportunity to experience clinicians with very different styles apply the same model of psychotherapy. I especially loved seeing how very different therapeutic styles are a great fit with the EFT-model, and how emotion can be worked with through several routes. Both Michael Barnett and Leanne Campbell help their clients get in touch with their vulnerabilities, but they do so in different ways. Barnett shows us how the attachment cue and the cognitive appraisals open the door into vulnerability, while Campbell demonstrates how powerful it can be to use the bodily felt sense to access emotion. Any therapist who wishes to help clients gain deeper access to their emotional experience will find some gems here"

EFT Step by Step Course content

Volume 1: Core Concepts and Interventions

Dr. Rebecca Jorgensen, EFT expert and sought-after trainer, gives a comprehensive overview of the core concepts, steps, stages, and key interventions of EFT. Theory and techniques come to life with numerous vignettes featuring six real-life couples with diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and issues. Over 100 hours of actual couples therapy have been painstakingly distilled to demonstrate the components and subtleties of EFT.

Volume  2: EFT Stage 1

Learn in detail the steps of EFT Stage 1 that lead to de-escalation such as identifying the negative cycle and accessing primary emotions. By the end of this volume, you will know how to guide your clients to take control of their negative cycle, giving them more hope and courage to go forward. 

Volume 3: EFT Stage 2-3

In Stage 2, the therapist becomes a choreographer who restructures the clients’ interactions. Learn how to achieve EFT’s critical change events—withdrawer reengagement and pursuer softening—and support partners as they learn how to talk about their unmet needs in a way that deepens their connection. 

Volume 4: Impasses and Challenges

In this final volume, Jorgensen and colleagues demonstrate how to handle an array of tough issues such as  ruptures in alliances, intellectualizing, and more. Multiple vignettes from actual cases combined with incisive commentary, offer tools and strategies to help you get your couples back on track. 

BONUS VIDEO: John Bowlby on Attachment and Psychotherapy

In this rare 1984 lecture in London, John Bowlby, founder of Attachment Theory, presents his impactful ideas on the role of the early parent-child relationships in development across the lifespan.


EFT Masterclass Course content

Volume 1: Sexual Issues     

Sexual intimacy is often a casualty of insecure relationships between partners who have grown emotionally distant from one another.  With its unique focus on attachment, EFT offers unique advantages for couples struggling with sexual issues. Learn to guide your clinical attention directly to the heart of the problem with couples who have grown sexually disconnected, and how to stay laser-focused on relationship dynamics.

Volume  2: Addiction

When addiction enters couples treatment, the focus on sobriety can be a distraction from core relationship issues and lead to further disconnection in the couple as the non-addicted partner often feels neglected.  See how master EFT therapist and addiction specialist  Michael Barnett uses attachment theory to help Mark and Julie embrace their pain and build their emotional fluency skills.

Volume 3: Porn Addiction 

Pornography addiction is often pernicious and destabilizing to a relationship, undermining the bonds of intimacy and trust between partners. Watch Michael Barnett humanize pornography use and frame the addiction in EFT terms. As he skillfully analyzes the couple’s distress pattern, you will learn how staying focused on attachment issues can strengthen a couple's relationship and rekindle intimacy.

Volume 4: Grief and Loss

When the loss of a child compounds existing relational stressors, clinicians may feel daunted by the sheer depth of a couple's emotional pain. See how master EFT trainer Leanne Campbell quickly reverses destructive relational patterns and provides methods to deepen the connection between partners, helping them avoid the pitfalls commonly associated with traumatic experiences.

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?

EFT is the most researched and effective approach for distressed couples. It was developed in the '80s and has a very strong empirical base. It as been tested and shown to create improvements in 90% of the couples that come to therapy. 

 

As its name suggests, it is an approach that focuses on how people deal with their emotions, how they send emotional signals to their spouse, and how this emotion becomes the music of their interactional dance. As an attachment-oriented approach it assumes that we all have very deep needs for safe connection and emotional contact, and that when we don't get those needs, we get stuck in very negative interactional patterns.

 

EFT gets right to the heart of the problems that keep relationships from being deeply satisfying. It is designed to stop the negative and stuck patterns in marriages and other primary relationships, transforming them into the loving, caring connection and understanding you desire.
