Deepen Your EFT Skills

Does your EFT practice with individual clients sometimes feel harder than it should? Do you feel like your work is “EFTish” more than EFT?

You’re not alone.

We have limited seats for this intimate learning environment. Join us this fall for a training designed to strengthen your skills, boost your therapeutic confidence, and leave you feeling at home with EFT.

You will learn to:

  • Recognize primary and secondary emotion in session
  • Help clients deepen into emotion productively to maximize client gains
  • Confidently work to transform challenging moment-by-moment emotion processes arising in individual sessions
  • Apply EFT theory and case formulation with more clarity, confidence, and flexibility within and across sessions.
  • Shift from learning “techniques,” to focusing on how to think, feel, and respond as an EFT therapist with individuals.

This is not a refresher.

It’s a re-organization.

✅ 30 hours of training

✅ Small group skills practice

✅ Sliding scale spaces available (see below)

✅ Pay up front, or in installments

You’re Still in Time for Early Bird Pricing!

Register and submit your payment by June 30, 2026 (see below) to take advantage of our Early Bird discount. Pricing increases after the deadline — don’t miss out!

Let 2026 be the year you finally feel confident in your EFT skills.

EFT for Individuals

With Dr. Sarah Thompson

As a certified supervisor and trainer with the International Society for Emotion Focused Therapy, an Adjunct Faculty member with the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University, a psychologist with 20 years of experience, and a therapist who experienced a lot of anxiety as a learner, I have a passion for translating theory into accessible lessons to help therapists feel more competent and more confident in their work! If you feel intimidated by learning EFT, or if you feel like you’re not quite the EFT therapist you want to be, this course is for you!

Sarah’s EFT-I course was fabulous!   Her training helped deepen my understanding of EFT and gain clarity on some of the more complex nuances of the theory. Sarah’s handouts were highly practical and thorough. She was able to balance rich clinical discussions and video demonstrations, with opportunities for skills practice and feedback. The fact that the training was offered over an 8-week period allowed me to integrate learning and practice with clients, and seek timely feedback on case conceptualization and skills. She was able to communicate the language of EFT in a manner that was easy to relate to and her facilitation fostered an atmosphere of curiosity, warmth, trust and connection with participants.  Sarah's wealth of knowledge, clinical skills and passion for EFT is inspirational!  Thank you, Sarah,

I completed Dr. Thompson’s “EFT for Individuals” training workshop in the Fall of 2021 (then named “EFT for Busy Professionals” and was so impressed with her training/teaching style and the overall organization of the material. The training was the perfect blend of didactic and experiential learning that increased my competence and confidence as an EFT therapist. The weekly schedule was ideal for helping me to not only digest the information into smaller chunks but also be able to apply the new material with clients I was supporting that week. Dr. Thompson created and fostered a safe and welcoming space where the participants got to know, support, and learn from one another.  She excelled at breaking down complex EFT theory as well as applying EFT tasks to participants’ diverse range of client population. During the experiential component where we would practice the skills we learned, Dr. Thompson was warm and encouraging while also incredibly skilled at providing helpful feedback that further accelerated my learning. I highly recommend this training to therapists who are both new and curious about EFT and those who might have completed Levels 1 and 2 and want to further deepen and strengthen their practice. With so many different types of psychotherapy trainings out there, "EFT for Individuals" is one that is well worth the investment, as it will further inspire, motivate, and excite you to take your practice to the next level! – Ivana Mitchell, RSW, RP Linkedin Profile

As a clinician with very limited technical understanding of EFT, I found the training to be very inspired. I find myself feeling excited and eager to explore and perhaps even develop an experiential AEDP focused group which was not something I had previously contemplated. It's vitalizing to witness and feel the tremendous contributions the development of this group model has had on participants, clinicians, and group psychotherapy literature. Feeling a stirring in me to humbly ask myself how I might be part of building something similar. Thank you!

The training was excellent. The opportunity to experience EFT-G group process both as a participant and observer was especially instructive. I honestly cannot think how the workshop could be improved.
