OVERVIEW

Core Concepts and Interventions in EFT is organized by Psychotherapy.net.

Course Description:
Many therapists agree that couples work is perhaps the most difficult aspect of psychotherapy—all the usual challenges and presenting problems, but with two people, in conflict! Without proper training, a therapist can quickly become overwhelmed. In the interests of helping both new and seasoned therapists navigate these rough waters, we’re thrilled to present this brand-new, groundbreaking series on Emotionally Focused Therapy with expert trainer Rebecca Jorgensen. Here, you’ll find a reassuring framework for transforming relationships using the evidence-based method’s proven techniques.

Volume 1 offers a theoretical primer on EFT, along with an in-depth look at the key clinical tasks of Stage 1 of the method. Jorgensen (interviewed by Victor Yalom) begins with an overview of Bowlby’s attachment theory, particularly as it pertains to relationships between partners. EFT is reknown for its emphasis on affect-based interventions, and here you’ll learn how to view couples’ needs through an attachment lens.

Jorgensen and her expert colleagues then present a series of vignettes from actual couple sessions with six sets of partners, and demonstrate the phases of Stage 1 step by step. You’ll discover the “five EFT moves” that form the structure of the method; the three essential tasks of EFT; key interventions for accessing emotions—reflection, validation, and evocative responding; heightening; and facilitating “enactments,” the central component of preparing couples for the next stages. Between creating and maintaining the therapeutic alliance, accessing and reformulating emotions, and restructuring interactions, the video gives you all you need to feel grounded and intentional with couples work.
