PCEFT's own Gretchen Mahoney is offering 4 sessions of reduced-fee ($50 for 50-55 minute sessions) supervision in Jan and/or Feb if you have completed the EFCT externship.

Gretchen serves on the PCEFT board and is an EFCT supervisor-in-training.

Supervision sessions are on Zoom, and include reviewing segments of video of your couples sessions, identifying particular area or question you want to find growth in, and most likely using some role-play to practice what has been discussed.

These sessions that we do together will be recorded, minus any video of your clients.

If you're interested in speaking with Gretchen please email pceft.training@gmail.com

EFIT is transforming lives; helping individual clients move beyond insight into real, embodied change.

If you're already fluent in EFCT, EFIT is like stepping into a new room in a familiar home. The same attachment lens, emotion-as-agent-of-change focus, and powerful corrective experiences are all there, now directed inward, to reshape the client's internal world.

What that looks like in practice:

- Mapping the inner dance (self-criticism ↔ shame, protector parts ↔ vulnerable parts, freeze ↔ reach) with the same clarity we bring to couples’ pursue/withdraw cycles.

- - Slowing down and heightening emotion so clients can feel what’s underneath the content—and make new moves.

- Using enactments both inward (“Can you turn toward that overwhelmed part and say…”) and outward (“Imagine saying this to your sister/boss/self in the mirror”).

- Restructuring self-to-self and self-to-other positions so clients leave with a sturdier, more secure internal working model.
EFIT shines with:

- Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma echoes, perfectionism, burnout, loneliness

- Clients who “know their patterns” but still feel stuck

Therapists wanting more depth without advice-giving or content overload

What changes for clients:

- Less shame, more self-compassion

- Clearer needs and boundaries

- Greater nervous system flexibility and emotional regulation

- A felt sense of: “I’m not broken. I’m human—and I can reach.”

Learn to Hear Emotion Beneath the Story.
Join us for "Coding for Emotion in EFT," a 2-hour training

When clients talk, it's easy to get swept up in the story. But in EFT, we're not just listening for content. We're listening for emotion.

Join us for a dynamic, practice-based event:
"Coding for Emotion in EFT: How to Find Cues, Clues, and Clarity in Content," facilitated by PCEFT Board Member, Dr. Purvi Parikh-Shah.

📅 Friday, May 30 | 9:30-11:30 AM ET
💻 Live on Zoom
🎟 PCEFT Members: FREE | Non-Members: $30

In this 2-hour training, you'll learn how to:

- Stay grounded in the present moment using Move 1
- Identify & name elements of emotion with Move 2
- Tune your ear to pick up emotional signals hidden in content
- Practice with scripts & real examples to build your skills in real time

This event is ideal for:
- Newer EFT therapists who feel unsure where to focus
- Experienced clinicians needing a reset on Moves 1 & 2
- Anyone who's ever gotten lost in a client's "story"
- You'll leave with sharper attention, clearer emotional attunement, & a more confident sense of direction in session.

Ever find yourself stuck in the story, trying to track what matters most in your client’s words? You’re not alone.

Whether you’re new to EFT or in need of a tune-up, this upcoming training will help you refine your focus and strengthen your confidence in working within the emotion process. Together, we’ll practice how to listen differently—learning to spot cues, clues, and deeper clarity even in the thickest content.

You’ll learn how to:
• Use Move 1 to stay grounded in present-moment emotion
• Apply Move 2 to unpack the elements of emotion embedded in client language
• Train your ear and attention to stay in the emotion channel—even when the story is complex

We’ll work with real scripts and client tape segments to sharpen our focus and build fluency in coding for emotion.

This training is practical, focused, and ideal for anyone who ever thinks, “Wait—what am I supposed to be tracking here?”
