This is a 6-hour On-Demand Webinar led by Dr. Leanne Campbell that was originally broadcast live on Tuesday, November 2, and Tuesday, November 9, 2021. All registrants receive unlimited access to the recording for 365 days.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) has evolved over the last two decades. It has revolutionized couples therapy with practical protocols for assessment, intervention, and treatment based on attachment theory. Now, EFT expert Dr. Leanne Campbell introduces the transformative power of working with attachment patterns while counselling individuals.
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT) integrates experiential and systemic interventions. It creates corrective emotional experiences to expand your clients’ sense of self and interpersonal repertoire. Sequences such as the EFT Tango will help transform models of self, affect regulation, and ways of engaging with the world.
In EFIT, clients gradually move into the willingness to be vulnerable, responsive, and fully engaged with life. In other words, they start to embrace the characteristics of secure attachment. Through emotionally transformative dialogues, EFIT restructures your client’s interaction with you (the therapist) with representations of attachment figures or aspects of self. It is a science-based approach that is helpful in dealing with disorders such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
This webinar outlines the theory and practice of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals using Sue’s book Attachment Theory in Practice for structure. You’ll learn about core models of health and dysfunction from an attachment perspective, including how growth and adaptation can be blocked. By focusing on emotion and creating a safe haven and secure base alliance, you’ll also learn to stay with present processes to shape key change events. Lecture and discussion in this webinar will be accompanied by the viewing of EFIT sessions and experiential exercises.
