About EFFT Level 2: Building on the foundations of EFFT Level 1, Level 2 focuses on increasing your competence in EFFT assessment and treatment practices that guide families through resolving relationship blocks and developing more secure familial bonds. Level 2 concentrates on specific practices for working through negative patterns, accessing and deepening emotional experience to promote corrective emotional experiences in family relationships. Video examples and practice exercises provide opportunities for you to observe EFFT in action and deepen your understanding and skill in this innovative approach to transforming family distress.

Participation in EFFT Level 2 will enable you to:

• Conceptualize family distress and formulate a treatment plan guided by EFFT goals.

• Explore alliance practices that promote family engagement in treatment.

• Assess safety and contraindications for EFFT practice and conjoint practice.

• Identify EFFT change events and related therapist interventions.

• Practice interventions skills that promote parental buy-in to systemic intervention.

• Order family patterns and reframe family patterns using an attachment frame.

• Engage practices to process relational blocks to parental openness and child vulnerability.

• Gain skill in accessing and assembling emotion associated with family distress.

• Increase effectiveness in use of enactments to engage and process attachment related emotions and needs.

• Facilitate impact of corrective experiences throughout family relationships.

• Identify treatment practices guiding use of EFFT with divorced and remarried families.
