Fast-Track EFCT is designed for EFCT and couples therapists who:
Have done (or are planning) Externship and/or Core Skills and genuinely love the model
Feel a mix of excitement and dread when they think about certification
Sometimes leave sessions thinking, “That did not feel like the EFCT I learned in training”
Want supervision to be more than a general venting space—they want it to build specific EFCT skills
Know that time and money are limited and do not want to wander for 18–36 months without a clear plan
Crave a peek behind the curtain at how a certified EFCT therapist actually handles content spirals, escalated couples, shut-down withdrawers, and sex conversations
If that’s you, this workshop gives you a clearer map and some concrete tools to start walking it.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have:
A realistic, efficient overview of the EFCT certification path
Not just “Externship → Core Skills → supervision → tapes → application,” but what these steps look like in real life—without sugarcoating.
My Four Pillars to Efficient Certification
Clarity on your map
Deliberate supervision
Strategic taping
Early application thinking
Clarity about whether and when certification makes sense for you
You’ll know if this is a “yes,” a “not yet,” or a “yes, but I need a better plan.”
A strategy for making your supervision hours count
You’ll see how to walk into supervision with a couple, a clip, and a clear EFCT question—so each hour actually moves you closer to certification instead of just spinning.
A new relationship with taping
We’ll talk about how to start taping earlier, how to pick cert-friendly couples, and why taping is part of an efficient path (not something to save for the very end).
Concrete language and moves for your hardest sessions
Through the “Behind the Sessions” transcript pack, you’ll get actual dialogue examples of how I handle content spirals, high escalation, “I don’t know” withdrawers, and sex conversations within an EFCT frame.
When you purchase Fast-Track EFCT, you get:
A focused video training where I:
Walk through the Efficient Certification Pathway and its four pillars
Show how to apply this framework at different stages of your journey
Help you decide what the next 3–12 months could look like if you want to move efficiently toward certification
A simple, therapist-friendly tracker you can use for every supervision session to:
Log your couples, stages, and stuck points
Clarify one EFCT question per session
Track the skills you’re actually building over time, not just your hours
This tool alone can change how your very next supervision hour feels.
In this transcript, I demonstrate:
How I start a session with a new couple who has already completed their individual attachment-history sessions
Real language that couples use (not demo-tape-perfect)
Realistic blocks from the couple and how I get around them
Realistic in-session cycle “pop-ins” where the pursuer criticizes in session and how I use that to bring it back to the cycle
A realistic Stage 1 enactment set-up and processing
All 5 moves of the EFT Tango, labeled as I’m using them
Descriptions of what I’m doing and why alongside the dialogue
Where I would start the next session
Most EFCT therapists are not failing because they’re lazy or bad at this. They’re struggling because:
No one ever gave them a big-picture map of the journey.
Supervision became a place to vent, not a place to build toward tapes.
Taping felt so scary and perfectionistic that they delayed it again and again.
The model felt so rich and complex that it was hard to know where to focus.
Over 18–36 months, that confusion turns into:
Extra supervision costs
Delayed certification
Quiet self-doubt every time they sit down with a couple
Fast-Track EFCT won’t solve everything (and it’s not meant to). But it will give you:
A clearer sense of where you are
A realistic understanding of the road ahead
A few well-chosen focus points that can keep you from wandering in circles
Whether you aim for certification or simply want to feel more grounded as an EFCT therapist, you deserve a map.
About Stephanie
I’m Stephanie Cox, MS, LMHC, a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, Private Practice Owner and EFCT Supervisor.
A little about my journey:
Completed my EFCT certification in about 17 months (faster than the typical 18–36 month path) by getting very intentional about how I used supervision, taping, and my own learning.
Have sat exactly where you’re sitting: heart-racing in Stage 1 with reactive couples, second-guessing my Tango moves, and putting off taping because it felt terrifying.
Now I specialize in helping EFCT and couples therapists feel less alone and more structured in the in-between: after the trainings, before certification and beyond.
My work is all about:
Translating the model into in-the-room moves and language
Helping you use your supervision hours wisely
Supporting a certification process that feels human, not hazing
Creating more skilled EFCT Therapists for a population that needs it
Fast-Track EFCT is the “here’s the map and here’s why you’re not failing” conversation I wish I’d had at the beginning.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
A: No. If you’re anywhere from “EFCT curious” to post-Externship/Core Skills and using EFCT in sessions, this will help you understand the path and your options.
A: No. This is an educational workshop plus tools, not supervision. The Supervision Skills & Session Tracker is designed to help you get more out of your actual ICEEFT supervision sessions. If you are looking for formal supervision, then the Supervision Pod is your next stop.
A: You get ongoing access to the replay, tracker, and transcript pack as long as this product exists on my platform. You can revisit it anytime.
A: It will give you a clear, high-level map and concrete strategies for using your time more efficiently to get to certification. It’s not a replacement for formal training or supervision—but it makes both of those investments work harder for you.
If you’ve been circling EFCT certification and don’t want to wander for 3 years in scattered supervision, this is your next best small step. Get the workshop, the supervision tracker, and the behind-the-scenes transcripts, and start using your time and energy more intentionally.
