Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) for Grief & Loss – March 2026

This one-day (6hr) training builds upon the Essentials of EFIT course and reviews the EFIT interventions, such as the EFT Tango, as well as micro-interventions, in the context of working with clients suffering from the loss of close relationships. Including bereavement and heartbreak through relationship dissolution, this couorse explores the impact of loss and grief from an attachment perspective, looking at how we can use the EFIT interventions to assist our grieving clients to process their loss and to grow from suffering.

We will see video footage from EFIT sessions demonstrating the use of the EFT Tango and the EFIT micro-skills in supporting grieving clients. This workshop meets the ICEEFT requirements for a specialised EFIT short course (6hrs), meaning that it counts towards certification as an EFIT Therapist with ICEEFT, for those working towards this.

At the end of training, participants will be able to:

• Identify the attachment impact of loss and the role of attachment strategies in the expression and processing of loss and grief
• Use the EFT interventions including the EFT Tango to process the emotional fallout of grief and move clients from distress towards recovery
• Identify and work with Bowlby’s four phases of loss & the Dual Process Model of Bereavement
• Assist heartbroken clients to grow from suffering by connecting with self and others with security
• Support clients in learning from past relationships, in harnessing the good from lost love, and in moving forward with resilience and hope.
