Description

Seeing each client as a unique person – not just a diagnosis – can be one of the biggest challenges therapists face.

To truly help your clients, you need to understand their world, feel their joy, and share their pain.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is the framework that allows you to do exactly this in a flexible, yet structured way that supports client autonomy, connection and healing.

Learn directly from Dr. Leanne Campbell, a world-renowned EFIT trainer and co-author of the first EFIT text with the late Dr. Sue Johnson. Handpicked by Dr. Johnson herself, Dr. Campbell offers unmatched expertise in this transformative training.

Not only do you get step-by-step EFIT training quickly and easily, but you’ll see Dr. Campbell in action with real, in-session footage guiding her client through healing trauma and resolving PTSD - so you’ll know exactly what to do in your sessions too!

Discover transformative techniques that empower you to:

  • Treat almost any client problem with a simple 5-step process
  • Get clients in touch with their bodies and emotions with resourcing techniques
  • Integrate key skills – like pacing, reflection, tone & more – into almost any modality you’re already using
  • Easily pivot in session, so you don’t miss any important details your clients want to process
  • Deeply understand clients’ attachment histories so you can tailor interventions to their present moment needs

EFIT makes it easier and more accessible than ever before to customise treatment for each unique client.

The best part? Walk away ready to integrate essential techniques into your therapy practice immediately.
