Join us for an advanced 2 1/2-day EFT training for the post core skills/seasoned clinician designed to help laser focus and master the complexities and nuances that couples bring to session. The presentation will provide concrete interventions--beyond the basics--for proficiently mastering client blocks, bullets, exits, escalations, interruptions, and more. Be confident and competent with the expert guidance of Dr Ryan Rana, ICEEFT Certified EFT trainer and charismatic podcast host of The Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy and co-creator of the online EFT course, Success in Vulnerability.

6. Identify the order of change in the tango when working with couples.
7. Select how and when to access and share negative view of self and disowned parts of self in
