It was such a pleasure to join Dr. Belle (Anabelle Bugatti-Duarte, PhD, LMFT) on her show and spend time talking about something not only dear to my heart but essential for all clinicians to understand—the importance of uncovering and reshaping our clients’ View of Self. One might say this is at the very core of the Emotionally Focused Therapy process, especially when working in EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy).
In this episode, Dr. Belle and I dive into the powerful and essential topic of View of Self and View of Other in Emotionally Focused Therapy. We explore how the way clients see themselves—shaped by attachment injuries, emotional experiences, and relational patterns—impacts their emotional responses, connection struggles, and their path to healing.
In this episode, we cover:
What “View of Self” really means in the EFT model
How to identify and work with negative self-perceptions in session
Key interventions and markers for effective restructuring
Using the EFT Tango to access and shift internal self-view
How attachment and self-concept intertwine in therapy
This conversation is packed with clinical gems, theory-to-practice insights, and gentle reminders of the deep humanity behind our clients’ struggles.
Whether you’re just beginning your EFT journey or have years of experience, I hope this episode offers new clarity and inspiration for your work.

Remembering Sue: The Phrases That Guide My Work
Written By Robin Williams Blake

Honouring Dr. Sue Johnson's legacy, this heartfelt tribute shares 12 powerful phrases that continue to guide therapeutic work, healing, and human connection.

Learn the Art of EFT: The Journey of Learning Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) - From Gallery Tour to Studio Practice

“The act of psychotherapy has often been described as an art form — a blending of science, intuition, and presence. EFT is no different.
Learning Sue's model is a creative, lifelong journey toward therapeutic artistry.”
— Robin Williams Blake, ICEEFT Trainer

The EFCT Training Map

24-hour EFCT Externship
Like taking a guided tour of a museum, the Externship introduces you to the landscape of EFCT — its history, structure, and emotional power. You begin to understand the architecture of attachment and the elegant structure of the model. You get the map, the theory, and the purpose behind every piece.
And while we can no longer meet EFT's curator in person, Sue Johnson’s vision lives on in her videos, her writings, her wisdom - the Sueisms. Her spirit guides the tour, reminding us that love is not a bargain it's a bond.

Core Skills Additional Training
Core Skills invites you to return to that museum, this time as a student of the art itself. You stop in front of the pieces that move you. You linger. You study the brushstrokes. You begin to feel what it’s like to hold the brush yourself. You explore. You’re curious. You’re in a safe and secure place to ask about your personal artistic blocks — surrounded by a small cohort and supported by seasoned artists.

EFCT Consultation - minumum 8 hours
In consultation, you step into the studio. Here, under the guidance of a supervisor you begin to paint. You try something, reflect, adjust. Your consultant doesn’t paint for you; they support your process, helping you see things you may not yet notice — where the emotion is blooming, where the cycle slips by, where your therapist voice can strengthen. This is where your artistry takes shape — informed by structure, grounded in science, and infused with your unique humanity.

Peer Consultation (Optional)
Many participants form peer consultation groups — spaces to keep learning and practicing together. These groups become a secure base and safe haven, where you can lean in, try new moves, share your struggles, and keep growing together.

Are you ready to walk back into the museum? My colleague Dr. Senem Zeytinoglu Saydam and I have a new core skills starting on April 22nd at 10 AM.

Where Personal Growth is Possible

04/04/2025

In Emotionally Focused Therapy, across all modalities — EFIT, EFCT, and EFFT — something powerful happens when we name our client's growth. When we reflect back their courage, capacity, or change, they start to feel it too. Our attunement becomes a mirror, and in that mirror, they begin to see themselves differently. This is how transformation unfolds — not just through insight, but through being seen.

One Monday April 7th, at 11 AM EST, come join me and Jomo Phillips, Monique Catherine and Dennise Demming for a 3-hour workshop for the Caribbean EFT Community focused on how to help your individual clients grow in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy. This 3-hour workshop is a fundraiser to provide scholarships for trainings in the Caribbean and will not be recorded since I will be showing approximately 70 minutes of actual clinical material. https://caribbeaneft.org/fundraiser
