Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is a short-term, structured approach to couples therapy. Research studies find that 70-73% of couples move from distress to recovery and 86% show significant improvements when treated with EFT. EFT is collaborative and respectful of clients combining experiential Rogerian techniques with structural, systemic interventions that extend the ideas of attachment theory to romantic relationships. Advances in the study of emotional regulation support EFT's use of emotion as a primary source of information to the self and to others about needs and motives as a primary route to connecting with attachment figures.
Ann Margulies, LMFT has presented workshops on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and postmodern practices to hundreds of mental health professionals. She maintains a private practice in Menlo Park, CA, working with individuals and couples and providing consultation to individuals and groups. She is a certified EFT therapist and supervisor.

This
six hour workshop is geared both towards clinicians new to Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) as well as those experienced with EFT. We will review the the theoretical underpinnings to EFT, the stages and steps of working with couples, and skills needed to be successful with couples using EFT.
Live "One Way Mirror" Training - 10 Sessions - Fridays - 1:30 to 3:30pm - 20 CE
9/23, 9/30, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/11, 11/18, 12/2, 12/9
$50 per session and $35 for CE
Participants
who have taken the six hour EFT workshop will be invited to attend the
10 session live "one way mirror" training where one therapist from the
training will volunteer to see the client, while Ann Margulies calls into
the session, giving suggestions while the group watches the session via
video. The first 30 minutes of the training will be spent discussing
the case, the session that day, and addressing the theory and
techniques. The client will then work with the therapist for 50 minutes
while the team gives suggestions. The group will discuss the session
for the last 30 minutes to discuss what worked, what didn't, and why.
We will be able to go beyond just theory and technique and see how to
apply it in reality. Two out of the ten sessions will be spent
reviewing video of the session and practicing the techniques to deepen
the learning in EFT.
IAP
can not guarantee that we will have a client or that the client will
come for all 10 sessions. If this does happen, then we will use the
time as a consultation group, may have people in the training bringing
in their clients for a single session, or watch videos of sessions. IAP
will make every effort to have a client coming in for the therapy and
we have been able to have a client each time, so the likelihood of not
having a client is very low. Also, most attendees can not attend all 10
sessions, which is common. The amount of 10 sessions is the same as
taking a class, so unfortunately, we do not refund if the person can not
make a session. All proceeds from the training and client payments go
to hiring trainers, equipment, and rent for the trainings.
EFT Consultation Group - 10 Sessions - Fridays - 12 to 1:30pm - 15 CE
9/23, 9/30, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/11, 11/18, 12/2, 12/9
$50 Per Session
Whether you're taking the workshop, the live "one way mirror training" or are just interested in learning more about EFT, Ann Marguiles, MFT will be providing consultation to a small group of therapists for 10 weeks. If you have taken the EFT Externship and Core Skills Training, this group supervision time will count towards certification in EFT. In the consultation, each person will get to present cases, watch videos of each others' cases, and role play skills.
