Converge Counseling and Couple Therapy

08/27/2025

Last week, someone asked me what the Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy meant to me as a couple therapist. It is so much more than just a training.

If you want to see couples, or want to be effective and focused in that work, the Externship is transformative. It forever changed my perspective on human connection, and gave me the lifeline I needed in the therapy room.

We have one of the world’s greatest trainers in EFT coming right here to our doorstep in DFW. Rebecca Jorgensen’s lifelong work with Sue Johnson, her precision as a teacher, her wealth of experience, her immense knowledge of the unmatched research, her warmth and passion for supporting emerging therapists makes this a rare opportunity.

Come. Be with us for this Externship.

When I tell other clinicians that most of my work is with couples, the response is usually “I would never do that. It’s too intense.”

I get it! But the reason I love my work is largely because of the foundation that these two trainers have built for me.

I’ve had the rare privilege of getting to attend or volunteer at Externships in various communities around the country and I can confidently say: James and Ryan are excellent. Approachable. Focused. Fun. Transformative. Engaging.

If you work with couples, this is pure gold for your professional development.

This quote is a reminder that as EFT therapists part of our job is to help our clients increase their windows of tolerance. We do this in session by being fully present, getting curious, sharing our limbic system, and trusting the river of emotions to take us where the clients need to go. It is a hard place that our clients have asked us to lead them through, but we know that it works. WE, as the therapist, can't stop every time THEIR internal alarm system is ready to run.
