Participant Requirements

To ensure a collaborative and informed learning environment, participants must:

✅ Have completed an EFT Externship before enrolling.
✅ Declare their professional designation and confirm they are actively working with couples or partners in therapy.
✅ Present a brief case summary and share a 10-minute audio/video clip of a therapy session for peer discussion and guided consultation.
