Essentials in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy
This is a 4-Day Immersive Introductory Course in Emotionally Focused Therapy with Individuals (EFIT). This ICEEFT-endorsed training is the introductory 24-hour training in EFIT and the first step towards certification in EFT for Individuals. This workshop equips therapists with the competencies to tune into and harness the power of emotions, enabling the transformation of clients’ self-concept and relational bonds. Participants learn how to delve into the heart of attachment and humanistic experiential perspectives, explore the intricacies of affect regulation, and unveil the therapeutic dance of EFIT Tango to facilitate corrective emotional experiences. Completing EFIT Essentials provides therapists with tools to create lasting change in their clients’ lives.
This course is appropriate for mental health professionals and graduate students. EFIT Essentials training is designed to be an immersive and enriching professional development opportunity to equip mental health professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary for effective EFIT practice.
Through a blend of theoretical teachings, practical exercises, and collaborative learning, this program aims to foster a deeper understanding and proficient application of the EFIT model, empowering participants to contribute to the mental health and well-being of the individuals they serve.
After this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Adopt an attachment humanistic perspective on clients, presenting issues and interventions.

- Discover and distil core emotional experiences and promote emotional balance.
