The Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy
Helping therapists on their leading edge of learning so they can help clients on their leading edge of healing. In each episode, we try to focus on parts/moments of the counseling experience through the lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy, developed by Sue Johnson. We share how we are being pushed in our growth process and things we are learning from our clients in their growth process. We are also thankful for the many EFTSupervisors and Trainers who share their learning nuggets with us to pass on to you. We invite you into a brave space as we all push our leading edges of learning and healing.

We hope this experience helps you push the leading edge in your work to help people connect with themselves and each other.
In this episode of the stuck series, we discuss the importance of seeing and working with reluctance. Our primary focus is working with reluctance in stage 2, but we do note how reluctance shows up in stage 1. The premise is that reluctance is actually the leading edge of potential growth for your clients. Working with the reluctance and enacting it is a very powerful and practical way to facilitate change in the attachment process.

We are honored to have ICEEFT Trainer Alexine Thompson-de Benoit share her wisdom and expertise in working with relational bonds when ADHD is playing a major role.
Here is a link to an online training she will be hosting in 2024 https://eft-sr.ch/formation/couple-et-tdah/
ADHD IN COUPLES, THROUGH THE ATTACHMENT FILTER
The ICEEFT-recognized masterclass « ADHD through the attachment filter » focuses on how to navigate ADHD-impacted couples through EFT to help them create connection and safety. In this 12-hour training, you’ll learn how to recognize and lead the tango with these couples. We’ll work with video clips of standard EFT interventions. The case where the therapist has ADHD will also be examined.

We hope this experience helps you push the leading edge in your work to help people connect with themselves and each other.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of helping clients see the impact of their strategies on themselves, their partners, and themselves. This is critical when their actions put the bond and their well-being in a critical condition. The intention is to help them the impact to open them up to other, more beneficial options.

In this episode, we take time to clarify what or when "story" is problematic in the couple's work. We share some clear points to delineate when the story is helpful and when it is not as beneficial. Ultimately, as the clinician, you must determine when the story is helping them repair their bond and when it is pulling away from repair work.
