Workouts for Stepping into Emotionally Focused Therapy is a companion to Stepping into Emotionally Focused Therapy: Key Ingredients of Change (2nd ed.). Inspired by Deliberate Practice, it is filled with exercises called workouts first with couples (EFCT), followed by a series of workouts in that same skill or move with individuals (EFIT).

The workouts are more than skill-drills. They are clear, tangible ways for the reader-practitioner to become emotionally engaged within self and in attunement with each client scenario and to strengthen their EFT muscles with the practice of each of these EFT ingredients of change. Part 1 includes workouts of ten micro-skills across a wide range of client scenarios, including diversity of racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, religious, neurodiversity, and other contextual diversity. Workouts with the five moves of the EFT Tango, from beginning of therapy to the completion of Stage 2 change, first with a couple and then with an individual, make up Part 2. The reader-practitioner has opportunity in Part 3 to apply the macro-intervention to Stages 1 and 2 change in their own lives, to explore barriers to following and deepening emotions, and to utilize a series of antidotes for typical EFT therapist challenges and goal-setting.

Containing practical handles for the new clinician or graduate student wanting to integrate EFT into their practice, it is also stimulating and relevant for seasoned therapists and counselors seeking to sharpen EFT skills and develop confidence in the model with both couples and individuals.

"In this excellent new book, Brubacher provides Micro-Skill Workouts for mastering key skills in EFT. The text is clear, well-organized, accessible, and highly effective. Very highly recommended for both EFT trainees and certified therapists who wish to take their EFCT and EFIT skills to a new level!"

"In Workouts for Stepping into EFT, Lorrie Brubacher helps therapists, from apprentices to the most experienced, learn all the nuances of applying EFT to both individual and couple therapy. With her gentle guidance, the reader is invited to focus on the core micro and macro interventions of EFT. As they further develop their understanding of each intervention's purpose, they can practice applying it and draw inspiration from Emily - a fictive therapist - to help them expand their repertoire, discover and solidify their strengths, and integrate the model conceptually and experientially - so they can find their own voice as EFT therapists. This book is a must-have for anyone wanting to master the art of EFT."
