EFT Couples Institute - November 6 - 9, 2012

This 4 day Institute will cover the 5 stage 14 step expanded model of EFT-C focusing on attachment and identity needs and self and other soothing.  As an emotion-focused therapy we focus on how to work with emotions such as anger, sadness, fear and shame.  Participants will be asked to identify key interactional cycles in their own primary relationships and work on undoing these by accessing their own primary underlying emotions in the training.  To maximize this form of experiential learning, enrolment is strictly limited to 27 participants.
