Diversity Scholarships: 

We recognize that the cost of EFT training is prohibitive for some therapists for a wide variety of reasons. Through our diversity scholarship program, we seek to reduce financial barriers, provide equal opportunity, and help address disparities in EFT and mental health communities. We are supporting and including therapists from diverse backgrounds by offering fee-reduced spaces. Please email trainings@drlisapalmerolsen.com to inquire about available scholarships.

What will I learn in an “Externship"?

Participants will:

  • Obtain a clear understanding of the basic experiential and systemic concepts of an “Emotionally Focused” approach to therapy.
  • View clients in the web of their interpersonal attachments and conceptualize relationship distress and repair based on theories of attachment and emotion.
  • Develop skills in sharing and maintaining an engaged, open and collaborative alliance with clients.
  • Develop skills in the 5 moves of the basic macro-intervention – the EFT Tango – in order to change patterns of affect regulation, models of self and other, strategies for engaging others and interactional patterns.
  • Develop skills in EFT micro interventions taken from experiential and attachment systemic models of intervention.
  • Develop skills in overcoming common blocks and impasses in couple therapy and so shape core corrective emotional experiences that lead to constructive dependency and what Rogers termed ‘existential living.’
