BASIC EXTERNSHIP IN EFT
2025 Dates: September 17-20, 2025
Click here to register.
Taking place in-person in Minneapolis, MN at the Humphrey Conference Center at the University of Minnesota, this four-day intensive is intended to give you the knowledge and basic skills for using EFT with your clients. It is also the first step in becoming certified as an EFT therapist. The 24–hour externship focuses on a review of the theory and practice of EFT as well as the application, demonstration, and practical exercises. This externship is officially offered in conjunction with the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). This externship fulfills the initial externship requirement for certification in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and we will apply for 24 hours of continuing education by the MN Board of Marriage and Family Therapy.
Join MNCEFT and EFT trainer Scott Woolley for this two-day training on working with neurodiversity like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more through the lens of EFCT.
