He has a Private practice in Lakewood, CO, providing services to couples, families and individuals specializing in addiction.

Join us for a transformative 2-day online workshop focused on Healing Shame through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Designed for therapists who want to deepen their understanding of how to work with shame from an attachment-based perspective, this training offers practical, evidence-based strategies to help clients navigate and heal from the deep-rooted emotional wounds that shame creates.

In this interactive workshop, you will:

Explore the attachment science behind shame and how it disrupts emotional safety and connection in relationships.

Learn to identify the markers of shame in your clients and intervene with EFT interventions that promote emotional healing.

Gain tools to create a secure therapeutic alliance where shame can be safely accessed and transformed.

Guide clients through the EFT process, helping them shift from feelings of worthlessness and disconnection to emotional resilience and self-compassion.

Understand how to integrate EFT’s Stage 1 and Stage 2 to effectively work with shame in both individual and couple’s therapy.

​​Shame can be one of the most difficult emotions to address in therapy, often leading to withdrawal and isolation. However, with EFT’s focus on creating secure attachments, therapists can help clients re-establish connection, trust, and emotional well-being.

This workshop is ideal for EFT practitioners, as well as other mental health professionals, looking to sharpen their skills in working with shame and deepen their understanding of the emotional dynamics behind attachment injuries. The workshop will include live demonstrations, case studies, and hands-on practice to ensure you leave with tools you can immediately apply in your practice.

Earn up to 14 continuing education credits (CEs) and elevate your therapy practice by learning how to heal shame and promote emotional transformation using Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Teri Murphy is returning to train our community! Core Skills training is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of EFT theory and learn effective interventions to use with your couples. Core Skills is a series, broken into two separate trainings, and this first part will run from May 1-3, 2025. The 2 part series (a total of 48 hours of training) will focus on specific steps of the therapy process model. Modules 1 & 2 focus on assessment, creating a collaborative working alliance, mapping the negative interactional pattern, identifying and accessing the underlying attachment-based emotions and models of self that prime and drive the negative interactive cycle, and how to de-escalate the cycle.

**No tape required to attend. Must have completed an EFT Externship.
The second portion of Core Skills will focus on Modules 3&4, and it will be offered August 21-23.

Core Skills Training is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of EFT theory and translate it into more effective and deliberate interventions with your couples.
