Advanced Empathic Attunement for Emotion Focused Therapy
Live online masterclass with EFT founder Robert Elliott, PhD
29th March - 1st April, 2022

The secret ingredient in Emotion Focused Therapy is deep empathic attunement with clients. Without a strong, empathic presence, EFT tasks simply do not work. Thus, a full training in EFT requires specialised training in therapist empathy skills, which we cover in this 4x half-day masterclass.

We begin with an overview of empathy in general and the empathic attunement process as it is practised in EFT, featuring the famous 'Opening Channels of Receptivity' exercise on Day 1. This is followed by focused skill practice aimed at broadening the range of your empathic practice using evocative reflection and empathic affirmation responses (Day 2), exploratory reflection and process reflection (Day 3), along with empathic conjecture and empathic formulation (Day 4).

This live, online training will include a mixture of brief lectures, small group discussion, videos and demonstrations, as well as experiential practise exercises with support from Professor Elliott and other experienced facilitators.

Prior knowledge of/training in Emotion Focused Therapy is preferred but not essential. This training constitutes 14 hours of CPD.
