Certification Information
Goal:
To set up a list of certified EFT therapists across North America
to provide expert intervention in EFT and EFFT and train other
health professionals.
Pre-requisites for Certification:
A graduate degree in a relevant discipline/mental health field
such as Social Work, Psychology, Education/Counseling, Marital
and Family Therapy, and Pastoral Care.
Membership in a recognized professional association, such as
AAMFT.
Current clinical therapy practice (must include some couples
and/or families).
License to practice psychotherapy if required by the state/province.
Proof of malpractice insurance.
Completion of two graduate courses on the practice of couples/family
therapy at a registered institution or equivalent.
Who should attend?
The externship is recommended to all professionals who counsel couples,
including psychiatrists, psychologists, family physicians, social
workers, psychiatric nurses, counsellors, pastors and clergy, and
students training in these professions.
Participants learn to:
See marital distress from an attachment perspective, help partners
reprocess the emotional responses that maintain marital distress,
shape key new interactions and bonding events, and overcome therapeutic
impasses. Participants are strongly encouraged to read the 2004
book on EFT - Creating Connection before coming to the externship.
Ideally participants will also have viewed the first training tape
- Healing Broken Bonds (available at the Institute).
