Annual Training
Getting Grounded with the EFT Tango
with Sharon Chatkupt Lee, PsyD
Traditionally we have taught Emotion Focused Therapy for couples as a model of steps and stages. For some people the steps and the stages are the comforting map of EFT, but for others the steps and the stages can be a real stumbling block that slows down the learning and fills people with insecurity. In Sue Johnson’s most recent book, she uses the EFT Tango to illustrate how we can move through individual, couple and family sessions moving easily from systemic work into emotional deepening and back into integration. We still use the steps and stages to guide us in our work, but the EFT Tango can help us orient ourselves throughout the session regardless of step or stage.
This workshop is designed to give the clinician a firm grasp of using the EFT Tango. We will observe, practice, and experience the EFT Tango over and over again. We will watch sessions and break down the moves one at a time. We will develop simple hand holds that you can use in your session to help you feel oriented, confident and in charge of your sessions. We will practice each move of the tango and share the learning in small groups. This workshop will be lively and experiential, and a wonderful learning opportunity for EFT clinicians of all training levels.

Sharon Chatkupt Lee, PsyD, is a psychologist in private practice in Portland, Oregon since 2003. Sharon fell in love with EFT and began studying seriously to be an EFT therapist in 2006 alongside advanced gestalt training. Once certified in EFT, Sharon became a founding member for the Oregon Community for Emotionally Focused Therapists.
She has special interests in supervision and self-of-therapist development in EFT, as well as trauma. She is a student of yoga therapy, which has further developed her ability to work with trauma and the body. Sharon lives with her husband, their two teens, and a labradoodle named Huckleberry Finn who works in the office with her. Out of the office you will find her with family, walking in the woods, doing yoga, kayaking, knitting, or working on social justice issues. Since 2018 when Sharon became a trainer, she has been teaching on how we can be more embodied and tackle more complexity in our work by grounding ourselves in the tango. Sharon wants to build an EFT community in which more people feel they belong and to find ways to realize the ideals of anti-racism and anti-oppressive work within the EFT model and our community.
