Dr. Sue Johnson’s Intensive Course in Emotionally Focused Therapy

Attachment-Based Interventions for Couples in Crisis

• What this course covers: A comprehensive 6-module course covering the full EFT model — from attachment science foundations through Stage 1 de-escalation, Stage 2 restructuring, to advanced work with trauma couples, sexuality, and affairs.
• Best suited for: Beginner to intermediate couples therapists (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, psychologists) who want a thorough grounding in the EFT model. Also valuable as preparation for or complement to the official ICEEFT externship.
• Format: Video lectures, in-session demonstrations with real couples, case studies, interactive message boards with other enrolled clinicians, plus 3 bonus recordings (additional case presentations, a Q&A session, and the “Soothing the Threatened Brain” interview)
• Accreditations: Available through PESI. Check vendor page for current CE approvals specific to your license type.
• What stands out: This is one of the most in-depth online EFT trainings available, taught by the developer of the model herself. The 6-module structure walks you through the full treatment arc rather than just introducing concepts. The inclusion of advanced modules on sexuality, affairs, and trauma couples sets it apart from shorter EFT introductions. Unlimited lifetime access to all course materials.
