Therapists who are want another perspective and support for their EFT work invite a couple to come for a session with Lorrie. The session takes approximately 2 hours of the couple’s time. Lorrie works with the couple in the presence of the ongoing therapist. The session is live-streamed to an adjacent room with other therapists observing. After a 60-90 minute session, Lorrie and the therapist meet for 10 minutes with the therapists to gather feedback. The feedback is formulated to be validating for the couple and to encourage further growth. After sharing the feedback with the couple, Lorrie and the presenting therapist meet back with the group of observing therapists to debrief the session. In the event there would not be a couple available Lorrie would show an earlier session, stopping to discuss the process and interventions.
Feel free to contact Lorrie at lorrie@gcceft.com if you have a couple that you feel could benefit from this experience.
2.5 CE’s available for $25. If no CE’s desired, payment is optional.
