| Extra Info | : | With Ann Power This Two-Hour Webinar will introduce you to the core concepts of EFT, a model built firmly on attachment dynamics within a couple relationship. Devised by Susan Johnson, EFT has become widely used around the world. Outcome studies and couples’ own feedback suggest that it is an effective and user-friendly model. The webinar will explain how EFT sees conflict between partners as a function of attachment distress. Often the attachment behaviour of one partner is very triggering for the other. For example, a more avoidant partner might try to calm things by shutting down but the impact on their anxiously attached partner is inflammatory. Of course, the reverse is equally true and the anxious attachment strategy of amplifying attachment feelings is very triggering for a more avoidant partner. We’ll hear how EFT practitioners use systemic interventions to deescalate the cycle and then recruit both partners to the idea that the cycle, rather than their partner, is the enemy. |
