Join renowned trainers Leanne Campell and George Faller and discover Dr. Sue Johnson's EFT approach that’s revolutionized our ability to guide clients to deeply connected relationships and trauma-free lives.

Whether you work with individuals, couples, or families, this workshop will provide the step-by-step, foundational instruction you need to start applying the EFT model with your clients.

Learn skills to match the affect of partners and help them put words to their inner experience, shifting their focus from blaming their partner (view-of-other) to their own vulnerability (view-of-self).  Renew your conﬁdence by getting help in the areas where you lose focus and get lost in reactivity and misattunement. Learn multiple strategies to make explicit, expand and work through the blocks and defenses we all experience.

Go deeper with Leanne and George as they break down the moment-to-moment decisions that inform the EFT treatment process with individuals, couples, and families so you can immediately incorporate powerful, proven techniques into your own work. Through video clips, experiential activities, and vibrant dialogue, we will learn how to freshen up, better attune, and reﬁne our skills.
