EFT Foundations Series

The EFT Tango

Friday, May 17, 2024

This is the fifth workshop of a monthly online series on Emotionally Focused Therapy Foundations. This workshop will focus on the five steps of the tango, which is the most important process a therapist uses in every EFT session. How do we create positive interactional experiences for our couples? How do we create safety around vulnerability? How do we methodically and strategically support our clients to explore, share, and experience emotional bonding in our couples therapy sessions?
