You can be a really great therapist… and a really terrible supervisor.

Because guiding supervisees requires a completely different skill set than the one you use in the therapy room.

And when your license is tied to someone else’s learning, it’s easy to slip into being more directive than curious… or to get so focused on the client that your supervisee’s growth takes a back seat.

That’s why supervision isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a craft.

Whether you’re just considering supervision, have recently begun, or have years of experience under your belt, staying current with the latest developments is essential. It keeps your practice safe, your focus clear, and your supervisees thriving.

And that’s exactly what the Clinical Supervision Summit is here for.

Join supervision leaders Kenneth V. Hardy, Amy Parks, Kate McLellan Walker, Sean Davis, Jon Frederickson, Sonja Sutherland—and seven more of today’s most distinguished experts—for two transformative days that will redefine how you see your role in shaping the next generation of therapists.

You’ll walk away with practical, ready-to-use tools to:

• Build real trust in an evaluative role so supervisees feel safe enough to be honest—and grow

• Tackle remediation with clarity and compassion while protecting clients and preserving relationships

• Strengthen professional identity by moving supervisees from theory into confident, independent practice

• Navigate today’s most pressing issues―from trauma and cultural dynamics to neurodiversity and the impact of AI on supervision

You’ll be learning in real time with today’s leading supervision experts. Join engaging live Q&A sessions, bring your toughest challenges to the table, and walk away with practical answers you can apply immediately in your practice.

Plus, earn up to 12.5 CE credits (including 2 cultural competence CE hours and 1 ethics CE hour) while elevating your supervision skills and learning directly from some of the most respected voices in the field.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for trauma offers an attachment-based, experiential, and systemic framework that provides both a map and a method for meaningful transformation.

Why EFT for Trauma Matters

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) gives therapists a non-pathologizing lens through which to understand distress. Instead of focusing on deficits, EFIT views trauma responses as survival strategies born of disrupted attachment. With this compassionate framework, clinicians can help clients regulate emotions, access vulnerability, and move toward secure connection and resilience.

A Proven Model with Practical Tools

Dr. Leanne Campbell is an internationally recognized EFT trainer, bringing decades of clinical expertise to this training. She is the co-author with the late Dr. Sue Johnson of A Primer for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) (2022) and the forthcoming EFT for Trauma volume. Through didactic teaching, real client video sessions, and case commentary, Leanne demonstrates how the EFIT Tango—a five-move intervention sequence—creates corrective emotional experiences that foster growth session by session.

Therapists will learn how to:

• Frame trauma within an attachment perspective

• Pace interventions safely and effectively

• Apply the EFIT Tango to create change moments

• Shape new patterns of emotional regulation and interpersonal engagement

What You’ll Gain

Whether you are new to using EFT for trauma or an experienced clinician, this training provides:

• A clear roadmap through the three stages of EFIT, from stabilization to transformation

• Tools for balancing deep emotional processing with client safety

• Strategies to strengthen therapeutic alliances and foster post-traumatic growth

With Dr. Campbell’s guidance, you will leave with practical interventions you can immediately integrate into your clinical work. These new tools will allow you to help clients move out of the grip of trauma and into lasting resilience. This is more than a skills workshop. It’s an opportunity to deepen your therapeutic presence, expand your clinical toolkit, and join a community of practitioners committed to transforming trauma through the power of attachment and emotion.

Emotionally Focused Therapy as a Step-by-Step Intervention

Leanne Campbell & George Faller

National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine (NICABM)

We know how trauma and shame constrict growth and connection. We see it every day in our therapy rooms — the way perception narrows, darkness overshadows light, and the contagion of helplessness and hopelessness spreads. We also know that all trauma involves loss, loss of connection with self and others, and various secondary losses such as identity, opportunity, and more. The question is: how do we meet these challenges with confidence and transform them into healing, and how do we track and honor the inevitable grief process?

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a clear path out of the grips of trauma, shame, and loss—into growth, resilience, and renewed connection. In this experiential workshop, through powerful video examples of individual and couple sessions, you’ll learn to harness the power of emotion and the wisdom of attachment science to transform clients’ protective isolation into moments of connection, the antidote to trauma and the impetus for grief.

Through the five simple moves of the EFT Tango, therapists will learn to access the healing power of the attachment caregiving system to create transformative limbic revisions—shifting the survival strategies of trauma and shame into the secure moves of connection and care. Join Leanne and George as they guide you step by step through the moment-to-moment decisions that shape the treatment process, empowering you to integrate these powerful, proven methods immediately into your own clinical work.

· Help clients normalize and destigmatize trauma and shame by viewing it through an attachment lens.

· Articulate key interventions to help clients to reprocess key emotional responses.

· Identify common therapeutic impasses and how to address them.

· Follow a step-by-step EFT program for addressing, dissolving, and ultimately transforming shame into connection.

· Identify the positive cycle of responsiveness to replace the defensive and protective, negative cycle.

· Track and make space for the grief that inevitably follows transformative limbic revision and associated shifts in self and connection.

PESI USA & Psychology Networker - FREE EFT TRAINING EVENT

Join George Faller and Leanne Campbell as they introduce you to a powerful attachment-based experiential systemic model for working with individuals, couples, or families, or all the above! Whether you are working with a distressed individual, an escalated couple or a raucous family, an attachment frame offers a map to the heart of the matter! Learn skills to match the affect of partners and help them put words to their inner experience, shifting their focus from blaming their partner (view-of-other) to their own vulnerability (view-of-self). Renew your confidence by getting help in the areas where you lose focus and get lost in reactivity and mis-attunement. Learn multiple strategies to make explicit, expand and work through the blocks and defenses we all experience. Go deeper with Leanne and George as they break down the moment-to-moment decisions that inform the treatment process so you can immediately incorporate powerful, proven techniques into your own work. Through video clips, experiential activities, and vibrant dialogue, we will learn how to freshen up, better attune, and refine our skills.

In this workshop, using real-life video case examples and other stories from the therapists’ chairs, you’ll learn how to harness the power of emotion and the wisdom of attachment science to:

• Adopt an attachment frame that simplifies the most complex presentations and gets to the core of distress and disconnection 

• Create the foundational safety for attachment security 

• Apply key interventions to de-escalate relationship distress and soothe the nervous systems of individuals within those relationships 

• Identify and unblock barriers to connection such as shame and attachment injuries with an easy to-follow step-by-step process

• Identify the positive cycle of responsiveness to replace the escalated, negative cycle

• Help clients order/assemble their emotion in a way that facilitates affect regulation and relational safety 

• Apply a simple five-move set of interventions to structure and make the most of your 50-minute sessions

• Identify, work with, and dissolve the blocks/defenses/protective strategies/resistance that so commonly leaves therapists and clients alike feeling stuck 

Guiding Couples through Attachment Injuries, Loss and Trauma into Growth and Resilience with Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT)

Navigating the potential impacts of attachment injuries, loss and trauma can be overwhelming for therapists and clients alike. Attachment theory and science provide the map, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a method. Informed by more than 30 years of attachment science research and clinical experience, EFT gets to the heart of the matter. That is, the core elements of attachment that can either impact clients’ capacity to move into and through emotion toward resilience, or somewhere along a continuum characterized by recurring patterns of distress.

This training will provide you with the understanding and skills to join clients on their unique journeys through loss and trauma into growth and resilience. Deepening your capacity to harness the power and potency of emotion and the healing power of relationships in couple therapy will help you feel more competent and confident, and your clients more connected and complete! 

In this workshop, using real-life video case examples and other stories from the therapist’s chair, along with didactic instruction and skills building, you’ll learn how to harness the power of emotion and the wisdom of attachment science to:

• Adopt an attachment frame for understanding health and resilience, how clients get stuck in the face of loss and trauma, and how they find their way home

• Join with clients with CARE (i.e., attention to four key dimensions, context, attachment, relationship/therapeutic alliance, emotion) at therapy outset and throughout the therapy process

• Create a ‘safe haven alliance’ and conduct an attachment-based experiential assessment to guide the therapy process 

• Deepen your skills in working with emotion with attention to pacing, focus and momentum 

·         Outline and apply the steps of the Attachment Injury Resolution/Repair Model (AIRM)

• Track the impacts of shame and loss in resolving attachment injuries and learn how and when to address them

·         Integrate corrective emotional experiences into models of self and other

·         Discern markers for next steps in helping couples resolve attachment injuries

·         Summarize basic tenets for how to work with Attachment Injuries across the three stages of EFCT

·         Apply and adapt AIRM to work with clients in resolving attachment injuries

• Identify any blocks to moving with and through emotion (i.e., effective affect regulation), and implement the five moves of the EFT Tango to dissolve blocks and shape corrective emotional experiences 

• Guide clients in integrating new meaningful emotional and relational experiences to shift and update models of self and other

• Help clients consolidate, integrate, and celebrate gains and growth, live fully and love bravely in the present, and prepare for the future
