Presented by Dr. Serine Warwar<\/p>\n

Developed by Leslie Greenberg and Rhonda Goldman, Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT-C) is one of the world’s most researched, evidence-based approaches to couples\u2019 therapy. Building on the pioneering work of Leslie Greenberg and Sue Johnson (1988), this intensive 4 day certification training provides therapists with a powerful framework for helping couples move beyond conflict, heal emotional injuries, and build stronger, more secure relationships.<\/p>\n

Unlike approaches that focus primarily on attachment, EFT-C also addresses identity needs, including power, self-esteem, shame, and vulnerability, giving therapists a comprehensive model for understanding and treating relationship distress. You will learn how to recognize and transform the emotional processes that maintain conflict while helping partners create new patterns of connection.<\/p>\n

This highly experiential training combines brief lectures, extensive clinical video demonstrations, supervised small-group practice, live coaching and modelling interventions, as well as feedback to help participants integrate advanced EFT skills into their clinical practice.<\/p>\n

Throughout this intensive 4 day certification training, you will learn the foundations of the 5 stages and 14 steps of the EFT-C model, including recent advances in theory and practice. You will learn how to:<\/p>\n

-Identify and de-escalate destructive interactional cycles and survival strategies<\/p>\n

-Help partners identify and express their sensitivities and vulnerabilities<\/p>\n

-Create new patterns of emotional responsiveness and secure connection<\/p>\n

-Work effectively with attachment emotions such as anxiety, sadness, and longing<\/p>\n

-Work effectively with identity-based emotions including shame, fear, anger, and struggles around power and self-worth<\/p>\n

-Work with blocks, avoidances and interruptions<\/p>\n

-Set up successful enactments<\/p>\n

-Assign homework between sessions<\/p>\n

-Engage in relapse prevention<\/p>\n

-Use individual sessions within the couple\u2019s therapy<\/p>\n

-Recognize contraindications to therapy and address them<\/p>\n

-Facilitate partners to self-soothe when needed<\/p>\n

-Foster positive emotions such as warmth, love, caring, joy, and hope<\/p>\n

-Apply the Forgiveness Treatment Approach for working with emotional injuries and betrayal, developed by Greenberg, Warwar, and Malcolm (2010)<\/p>\n

No prior couples training is required.<\/p>\n

Who should attend: Licensed psychologists, registered psychotherapists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, counsellors, other regulated mental health professionals, and graduate students in a clinical or counselling program.<\/p>\n

*Please note that full attendance and active participation are required to receive a certificate of completion.<\/p>\n
