When couples learn to reach from a place of vulnerability (and actually find each other there), something changes.

That’s the heart of EFT for couples.

Attunement isn't just about fixing problems – it never was. It's about truly being felt and seen. If you're working with EFT, your attunement becomes the intervention, and your couple can sense it. 💖

Emotionally Focused Therapy teaches us to lead with emotional presence, not scripts. 💖

In EFT, we transition from following steps to trusting our instincts. That shift? It changes everything.

When the rhythm is off in a relationship, the whole dance breaks down. 💔

We see it in sessions time and time again: disconnection, shutdown, and protest.

In Emotionally Focused Therapy, we tune into the music beneath the distress. We identify the moves, the patterns, and the pain driving the cycle.

As an EFT clinician, diving deep into growth means mastering Core Skills. We’ll guide you on how to recognize and stay with those emotions right alongside your couple.

Being present with a couple’s emotions isn’t just a technique—it’s a commitment. 💡

For therapists learning EFT for couples, this is where you gain clarity.

Just pushing this forward.
Child mental health month …let’s all do better and be more attuned to the adolescent experience.

November is Early Childhood Mental Health Awareness Month. The early years matter for feelings, focus, and connection. Many children will need support at some point, and families do better when simple, evidence informed tools are easy to find and use. Communities can start conversations, share resources, and help kids build skills that last.

Amazing resource and should be shared over and over again.
