- **Event Description**: 2-day CE training for therapists who want to strengthen their skills when navigating the complexity of addiction in  EFT for  couples.About this EventTransforming Addiction through Attachment &amp; Emotionally Focused Couples TherapyLIVE IN-PERSON ONLY (NO ONLINE OPTION)FRIDAY, APRIL 10th &amp; SATURDAY, APRIL 11th, 2026930AM - 530PM EACH DAY13 CEs included through CE-classes.comLEVEL: IntermediatePREREQUISITE: EFT externship or other basic EFT training; must be a licensed (or licensed-eligible) mental health professional​BRIEF DESCRIPTIONThis dynamic 2-day immersive training is designed for therapists who want to strengthen their Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFcT) skills while learning to navigate the complex and often disruptive presence of addiction in couple dynamics.Using a highly experiential format—including lecture, role play, video demonstrations, and structured exercises—participants will gain practical strategies for integrating EFCT interventions in cases where addiction (substance use or process addictions such as pornography, gambling, or compulsive eating) complicates the therapeutic process.EFCT, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a research-backed, attachment-based model for helping couples heal relational distress by fostering secure emotional bonds. But when addiction becomes a “third entity” in the relationship, it can erode trust, hijack emotional safety, and stall therapeutic progress—leaving couples stuck in pain and clinicians searching for direction.This training will offer a roadmap for adapting the EFCT model to work more effectively with couples impacted by addiction. Participants will learn how to hold addiction in an attachment frame, identify its impact on the couple’s negative cycle, and respond with interventions that foster both emotional engagement and recovery-oriented stability.Whether you’re an experienced EFT therapist or newer to the model, you’ll leave with tools you can immediately apply in clinical practice—along with a deeper comprehension of how to support couples where addiction, trauma, shame, and disconnection intersect.YOUR PRESENTER...Michael Barnett, LPCC is an ICEEFT certified trainer, addiction specialist, podcast host, and author Michael Barnett is a leading voice in the EFT community.

His work shifts the clinical lens from pathology and control to one of connection, meaning, and emotional healing.Michael was honored to be elected as co-presenter with Dr. Gabor Maté at the 2022 International EFT Summit, offering powerful insight into addiction’s emotional roots and the path to deeper recovery.Now, following the release of his groundbreaking  (New Harbinger, 2024), Michael is devoted to guiding individuals in recovery toward deeper emotional healing, connection, and wholeness.CANCELLATIONS/REFUND POLICYLess than 7 days notice - 25% refund on your registration fee7 - 21 days' notice - 50% refund on your registration fee21+ days' notice - full refund minus flat $75 administrative fee* Registration refund amounts are based on our fixed costs and contractual obligations.
