Upcoming events.
EFT Externship (Houston, TX)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based, experiential model that helps couples, families, and individuals reshape emotional responses and build secure, resilient bonds. Grounded in attachment science, EFT guides therapists to identify negative interactional cycles, access core emotion, and create new moments of emotional engagement that transform relational patterns. Through a structured process known as the EFT Tango, therapists learn to de-escalate conflict, foster deeper connection, and facilitate corrective bonding events. This course equips clinicians with a clear map for working with distress, a powerful set of interventions for strengthening connection, and the confidence to help clients move toward safety, responsiveness, and lasting change.
Core Skills 1 & 2: Mastering Assessment, Attachment Formulation, and Cycle De-escalation in EFT (Louisiana Commuity for EFT, New Orleans)
Core Skills 1 & 2 immerse therapists in the foundational moves of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy—where we learn to see, name, and organize distress through the lens of attachment and negative interactional cycles. In this combined training, participants deepen their skill in shaping a coherent attachment-based case conceptualization, tracking the cycle in real time, and identifying the emotional blocks that fuel reactivity and disconnection. With demonstrations, structured practice, and in-the-moment supervision, therapists refine their ability to work effectively in Stage 1: stabilizing the relationship by accessing primary emotion, de-escalating negative cycles, and building the safety necessary for deeper work. This training equips clinicians with the clarity, structure, and confidence required to guide couples toward secure connection and prepare them for the transformative bonding processes of Stage 2.

Core Skills 3 & 4: Deepening Emotion, Restructuring Bonds, and Guiding Transformative Change in EFT (Hosted by North Texas EFT in Dallas, TX)
Core Skills 3 & 4 take therapists into the most profound and life-changing territory of Emotionally Focused Therapy—the Stage 2 work where emotional restructuring and new bonding moments emerge. In this combined training, participants learn to confidently access and deepen primary emotion, remove barriers to vulnerability, and shape enactments that move partners into new positions of openness and responsiveness. Through demonstrations and focused practice, therapists develop the precision and presence needed to facilitate softening events, choreograph partner engagement, and solidify new interactional patterns. This immersive experience strengthens your ability to guide couples through the emotional risk, bonding, and consolidation that define lasting relational transformation.
Cultural Attunement in EFT (Hosted by the Northern California Community for EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy offers a powerful, research-based map for transforming emotional and relational distress. Yet many therapists struggle to confidently incorporate cultural identity, lived experience, and systemic context into the EFT process. This workshop provides a clear, attachment-grounded framework for cultural attunement that strengthens therapeutic presence, deepens emotional engagement, and enhances bonding events.
Participants will learn where culture appears on the EFT map—within reactive cycles, secondary emotion, primary emotion, attachment needs, and blocks to engagement—and how to integrate these elements into the EFT Tango. Through teaching, demonstrations, video analysis, and guided enactment practice, therapists will learn to name cultural dynamics, respond to cultural pain with sensitivity, and support culturally meaningful connections during Stage 1 and Stage 2 work.
The workshop also addresses the therapist's cultural self-awareness, power dynamics, cultural trauma, and strategies for repairing cultural misattunements. Therapists will leave with greater clarity, humility, and competence in helping clients feel deeply seen—not only as individuals, but as cultural beings whose stories shape their pursuit of connection. This workshop is ideal for EFT practitioners who seek to expand their cultural responsiveness while maintaining fidelity to the EFT model.
