Description

There is no greater betrayal than trauma inflicted by a caregiver.

When understood as aftershocks of broken attachment bonds, our clients’ anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms make perfect sense.

The problems our clients have with emotion regulation... with decision-making... with self-esteem... with relationships – when we tie them back to core attachment injuries, they tell the full picture of a child whose needs for connection were never met.

What if there was a way to quickly get to the heart of the matter and heal those early traumas? To give our clients not just the relief of symptom reduction, but also the lasting stability and resilience of repaired, secure attachment?

Based on decades of groundbreaking research, Dr. Sue Johnson’s emotionally-focused model offers a simple, proven 5-step attachment-informed process to create predictable, repeatable, and lasting change with individual therapy clients.

In this training, you’ll learn about EFIT directly from its developer Dr. Sue Johnson, along with senior trainer Dr. Leanne Campbell. Get the skills you need to offer your clients healing experiences in every session as you:

  • Assess core attachment injuries and related symptoms
  • Apply interventions from the five steps of the EFIT Tango to create emotional balance
  • Model safety as a surrogate attachment figure to restore trust in self and others

PLUS, you’ll have the rare chance to watch Drs. Johnson and Campbell talk through and demonstrate key clinical decision points with their own clients!

Whether you’re new to EFIT or already using it, you’ll walk away with practical insights, strategies, and interventions you can use immediately in your practice.

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by – register today!
