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.
The theory and techniques come to life with numerous vignettes featuring 6 real-life couples with diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and issues. Over 100 hours of actual couples therapy have been painstakingly distilled to demonstrate the essential components and subtleties of EFT.
Volume 2: EFT Stage 1
Learn in detail the four steps of EFT Stage 1 that lead to de-escalation.
- Identify the negative cycle
- Access primary emotions
- Recognize the markers of de-escalation
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; promote acceptance of new positions of the other partner and support partners being able to ask for their needs to be met.
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, trauma history, attachment injuries, 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.

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.
Don't wait. Learn how to navigate the chaos of couples therapy.
