Course overview

On-demand (recorded) webinar Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy with strong evidence indicating that it significantly improves relationship satisfaction and reduces conflict for couples (Beasley & Ager, 2019). At the same time, there are numerous nuances to learn when practicing effective EFT with couples. One of the questions clinicians frequently ask EFT Supervisors is, "Is this couple in Stage 1 or Stage 2 of EFT?". Understanding what differentiates Stage 1 from Stage 2 work and how to progress couples through the stages is essential for effective EFT. In this webinar, we will explore how Stage 1 is focused on the cycle in order to obtain de-escalation, whereas Stage 2 is focused on the self and marked by free-flowing exploration. Relatedly, the presenter will discuss how to identify a variety of de-escalation markers, which signal the end of Stage 1. The presenter will also discuss the primacy of self-exploration, which marks the entrance into Stage 2. Participants will leave this webinar with a better understanding of Stages 1 and 2 in EFT couples therapy. This is an intermediate-level webinar that is appropriate for licensed mental health professionals and students in mental health graduate training programs.
