The EFT Externship will be located at Tulane University School of Social Work. Tulane's Porter Cason Institute originally brought EFT to our state, and they continue to be a sponsoring partner in providing EFT trainings.

In this four-day Externship, participants will learn through a combination of lectures, observation of live clinical sessions and breakout groups for role-play exercises. Upon completion of this course, participants will:

Identify the basic stages and steps of Emotionally Focused Therapy
Understand relationship stress from an attachment lens
Help couples recognize and de-escalate problematic patterns of interaction
Help couples understand the underlying attachment needs that drive these negative patterns
Help couples create and restore the emotional bond between them
Help couples repair attachment injuries by fostering healing within and between the couple

28 Continuing Education Hours will be provided to licensed and provisionally licensed therapists.

***Special rates will be offered for early bird registration, provisionally licensed professionals, master level students and EFT alumni (therapists who have already completed an EFT Externship). A limited amount of reduced fees will be provided to therapists who are from or work with a population that is historically or currently marginalized.
