2024-2025 Core Skills for Emotionally Focused Therapy with Couples
July 12, 2024 @ 9:00 am - March 8, 2025 @ 5:00 pm
$450.00 – $900.00
Core Skills is advanced training in EFT focused exclusively on working with couples.
This Core Skills we are welcoming Robin Williams Blake from Canada for modules 1 and 2, and Cindy Goodness Zane, PsyD, from Hawaii for modules 3 and 4. We are planning for all training days to be in person in Spokane, Washington, with the option to pivot to virtual training days in the case of inclement weather in the Pacific Northwest.
Our trainers will utilize didactic instruction, demonstrations from training tapes, live demonstrations with couples, and provide opportunities for formal and informal case supervision. Our trainers will be assisted by our community of volunteer EFT trained therapists, certified EFT therapists and certified EFT supervisors to walk alongside our participants in their EFT learning journey. We aim to model learning EFT together – and not alone – supported by our trainers and helper team.
This is an official Core Skills endorsed by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). An ICEEFT-endorsed externship is a required prerequisite for Core Skills.
