​​The first step in becoming certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy is to complete a 4-day EFT Externship. The externship offers clinicians an opportunity to learn an overview of the model, as well as specific steps and stages unique to the EFT approach. During the externship therapists will participate in group discussion, small and large group exercises, view video of the approach being demonstrated as well as observe a live session facilitated by your trainer.
