Description

There may not be a roadmap for grieving …

… but there IS one for transformational, evidence-based grief treatment!

Where other grief approaches rely on integrative strategies that sometimes feel random and disconnected, EFIT provides a set of practical, easy-to-use interventions rooted in attachment science to guide clients from loss into growth and resilience.

Based on Dr. Sue Johnson’s groundbreaking work, EFIT is a comprehensive approach that helps you widen your client’s window of tolerance for emotion, shift negative coping cycles, work with core vulnerabilities, unblock barriers to the natural grief process, and more.

And now you can learn EFIT directly from Dr. Leanne Campbell, training partner and co-author with the late Dr. Sue Johnson of A Primer for Emotionally Focused Therapy, who has trained tens of thousands of clinicians in this powerful approach.

Through a carefully curated mix of didactic instruction and moving case examples, Dr. Campbell will show you how to create powerful corrective emotional experiences to transform the intensely painful emotions that threaten to overwhelm your clients.

Best of all, this training will give you the knowledge and tools you need to become a Certified Grief Informed Professional* - and we’ll cover the cost of your application fee!

Whether you’re treating anticipatory grief, traumatic grief, or even non-death losses, you’ll get a flexible approach that moves clients toward resilience and growth, all while earning certification.
