Foundations of Emotion-Focused Therapy
Fifteen 3-hour meetings from September to December, 2021. This course will introduce participants to EFT’s emotion theory & process diagnosis, empathic attunement, empathic reflecting, empathic exploration, experiential presence, and the first steps of process guiding. Clinicians will train in a suite of humanistic and neo-humanistic interventions for accessing and processing emotion. This training does not include EFT’s “tasks” (i.e., “chair work”) which is covered in EFT Level 1. There will be focused experiential practice sessions each meeting. Instructor: Tom Kubasik, LCPC.
