EFT Supervision & “Supervision of Supervision”:
Whether you are learning the model or improving your skills, it is helpful to have a mentor in the process.  We learn best in a safe relationships in which we can openly explore our clinical work & learning needs.  You can get your individual or group supervision hours towards certification as an EFT therapist or as and EFT supervisor.
