Healing the Echoes of Trauma with Attachment-Based Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT): Transforming Self & Relationship

Working with couples can be very rewarding! Effective couples therapy has a ripple effect, impacting the relationship, partners within it, and key others in close contact. Rewards are especially significant when at the outset of therapy, the echoes of trauma are triggering dysregulation and distress, and creating barriers to personal growth and interpersonal connection, keeping partners stuck in familiar but debilitating patterns of being and relating. Join Dr. Leanne Campbell as she guides you in helping partners free themselves from the grips of trauma in their most important relationships and build strong secure bonds – bonds that heal and grow the partners within it – the type of bonds that many of our couples have never known. Learn how to access, organize, and actively engage emotion in couples therapy where one or both partners are contending with the impacts of trauma. You will walk away with a template for moving couples from trauma and disconnection into secure attachment – fertile ground for ongoing growth – growth through connection!

Attachment Injury Resolution Model

Many couples face challenges associated with infidelity and other betrayals of trust at some point in their relationship history.  These attachment injuries are often difficult to overcome, especially when they are compounded by prior experiences of betrayal or abandonment in other relationships.  Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) offers partners a way home to themselves and each other!  Within the EFCT model, the Attachment Injury Resolution Model (AIRM) has been proven to be a powerful and accessible road map to guide repair, resolution, and a deepening of relational bonds. In this training, you’ll learn how to help couples repair broken bonds, rebuild trust and redefine a new narrative for themselves and their relationship.

EFIT Essentials

EFIT Essentials is, quite simply, our two-day Level 1 plus two-day Level 2 combined together into a four-day course!

Level 1
EFIT teaches you how to tune into, order, and use the power of potent emotion to literally ‘move’ clients into a new sense of self. As client’s construct their inner emotional world in new ways, the results are an increased sense of competence and worth, a sense of secure connection with self and others, and diminished symptoms of emotional disorders.

Level 2
Deepen your understanding of EFIT while discovering effective ways to overcome barriers and obstacles to change. Delve deeper into objectives, with more extensive discussion and practice, and gain support for challenging clients and situations. Participants are encouraged to identify examples where difficulty in implementing EFIT and/or the Tango may occur.

Transform your practice – and your clients – with EFIT through this live-online course.

EFIT for Grief

There may not be a roadmap for grieving …

… but there IS one for transformational, evidence-based grief treatment!

Where other grief approaches rely on integrative strategies that sometimes feel random and disconnected, EFIT provides a set of practical, easy-to-use interventions rooted in attachment science to guide clients from loss into growth and resilience.

Based on Dr. Sue Johnson’s groundbreaking work, EFIT is a comprehensive approach that helps you widen your client’s window of tolerance for emotion, shift negative coping cycles, work with core vulnerabilities, unblock barriers to the natural grief process, and more.

And now you can learn EFIT directly from Dr. Leanne Campbell, training partner and co-author with the late Dr. Sue Johnson of A Primer for Emotionally Focused Therapy, who has trained tens of thousands of clinicians in this powerful approach.

Through a carefully curated mix of didactic instruction and moving case examples, Dr. Campbell will show you how to create powerful corrective emotional experiences to transform the intensely painful emotions that threaten to overwhelm your clients.

Best of all, this training will give you the knowledge and tools you need to become a Certified Grief Informed Professional* - and we’ll cover the cost of your application fee!

Whether you’re treating anticipatory grief, traumatic grief, or even non-death losses, you’ll get a flexible approach that moves clients toward resilience and growth, all while earning certification.
