3-day residential Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
What will I learn?
Escape the routine. Invest in your clinical growth. Experience the hills of Wayanad.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based, experiential humanistic psychotherapy with its foundation in affective neuroscience.
Over three days together, away from the pace of everyday practice, we will look at how attachment neurobiology can be used to bring a corrective emotional experience to clients with trauma histories, so that change goes deeper than symptom relief.
The training covers the stages of EFT and the macro and micro intervention skills, with relevant case examples.
NOTE: This training is open to postgraduates in Psychology, Psychiatry or Psychiatric Social Work who have completed Trauma-Informed Approach/Care (TIA) training.
