The 4-Day Externship is the first step towards EFT certification.

The Unique 2021 Carolina EFT Externship

Emotionally Focused Therapy is a short-term, structured and tested approach to reduce stress in adult love relationships, and create more secure attachment bonds. As one of the best-validated and most effective approaches to couples therapy, research shows 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements.

An Externship includes presentations of theory, clinical techniques and skills, training exercises, video recordings, observation of live interviews and discussion of specific cases and clinical issues.

Equity rates available.

Presenting is Lorrie Brubacher, Founding Director of the Carolina Center for EFT. A certified trainer with the International Centre for Excellence in EFT (ICEEFT), she has been an individual, couple and family therapist since 1989. An adjunct at University of North Carolina, Greensboro, Lorrie trains internationally and publishes on the topic of EFT, and EFIT specifically. She co-developed EFT’s first inter-active video training program on the EFT Attachment Injury Resolution Model and has many EFT couple and individual training videos available at at http://steppingintoeft.com. Her book Stepping into Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy: Key Ingredients of Change (2018), available in seven languages, has been called “an amazing book! … a must-read for anyone interested in learning EFT!” – Scott R. Woolley, Ph.D., Alliant International University.

Participants learn:

• To see emotional disorders & relationship distress from an attachment perspective
• To help clients reprocess the emotional responses that maintain dysfunction & relationship distress
• To shape key new interactions and events that build secure connection with others
• To overcome therapeutic impasses and address existential dilemmas.

Join the thousands of therapists across the world who every year experience the four day EFT Externship and transform their practice. 85% of participants give this standardized training the highest rating possible (that is 5/5) on all major aspects.

Equity Rate

Diversity/Inclusion scholarships are being offered as a statement that BLACK LIVES MATTER! We want to address the unconscious, systemic racism that has resulted in a lack of diversity in EFT training. The equity rate is designed to encourage participation from people from underrepresented groups, whose presence will enrich the training experience for everyone. If you can benefit from the equity rate pricing and identify with one of the following categories, please come and participate in the upcoming EFT training course. The categories are: 1) Those who identify with an underrepresented group such as, but not excluded to, Black Therapists and 2) those who work with historically marginalized communities.

The equity pricing is available based on your need, and an application is not required.

 If you have any questions, please contact Steve Wampler.
