Emotionally Focused Therapy: Strengthening Bonds in Couples, Individuals, and Families

Join EFT Trainer James “Doc Hawk” Hawkins to explore Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a humanistic, versatile, and empirically validated approach to psychotherapy rooted in the science of attachment and emotions. In this experiential workshop, Doc Hawk will offer a comprehensive introduction to EFT across three primary applications:

• Individual Therapy (EFIT)

• Couples Therapy (EFCT)

• Family Therapy (EFFT)

Throughout the course, practitioners will explore the role of attachment in treating individuals, couples, and families by examining EFT’s core elements, learning to deepen clients' emotional awareness, and mastering the "EFT Tango" to guide therapeutic healing.

Doc Hawk will demonstrate how EFIT, EFCT, and EFFT can help clients identify and transform negative and restrictive processing patterns through a blend of didactic presentation, clinical video, live demonstration, discussion, and practical application. Participants will learn to support clients' emotional expression across different relational contexts, attentive to the unique dynamics of each therapeutic setting.

This workshop serves as a comprehensive introduction to EFT, a foundation for advanced training, and a place to deepen existing knowledge of EFT. Designed for therapists of all experience levels, it provides practical skills to enhance emotional safety and therapeutic connection while offering an opportunity to learn collectively with colleagues.
