Read CFINE and ICEEFT’s Diversity Statement
Core Skills Advanced Training is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of EFT theory and translate it into more effective and deliberate interventions with your couples. Throughout the training cultural factors were highlighted and integrated into each phase of the instruction. The training involved a combination of didactic instruction, demonstrations from training tapes, live demonstrations with couples, and opportunities for formal and informal case supervision. Completion of Core Skills Training in EFT can contribute significantly to obtaining a certified EFT therapist designation. Check the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT) website for further details.
