USA Eastern Time (New York)
The IFT training program is a two-year online training program leading to certification as a Focusing-oriented therapist (FOT). We train therapists to help clients discover their way forward through an embodied experiential process that flows naturally.
The program is built on an underlying theory of the centrality of interaction and how we integrate experience, under ideal situations as well as traumatic circumstances. It consists of four modules:
– You train in three different ways to practice Focusing-oriented therapy (FOT).
– You integrate personal and professional growth in a stimulating process group.
This program offers a lot of flexibility:
– You do not have to commit to the whole training program upfront. You can commit to one
