OVERVIEW
This workshop is designed for therapists, supervisors, and trainers who use the unfinished business intervention in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and want to learn more advanced micro-skills and techniques to work with clients who have unfinished business that is particularly challenging to resolve.

This workshop has an optional experiential component on day 2.
