A New Year’s Greeting to Open 2023

Attuning to the dualities of our world is what helps to give us emotional balance and resilience. Since beginning to use the acronym EFIT for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy about six years ago, I have grown to appreciate emotional fitness as an apt metaphor of what we are helping our clients – individuals, couples, and families achieve with all modalities of EFT – and what I continually seek for myself.

Our Commitment to Diversity

Multi-ethnic hands in a circle

The Carolina Center for EFT is committed to helping our clients and our colleagues stand together for healing, safety, strength and solidarity during the increase in hate crimes and protests of white supremacy across our country. As a Center we are committed to creating safe, secure bonds in couples and families. As part of that commitment, we decry the messages of hatred and white supremacy being advanced.

We have all experienced the public outrage that has exploded due to long-term systemic racism and police brutality against Black Americans, including Jacob Blake, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade. The impact that these and scores of other murders have on our public consciousness has amplified the oppression that has occurred for the entirety of American history.

What is this new science of love?

 

Dr. Sue Johnson’s upcoming book shows how EFT is the new approach to psychotherapy – with individuals, couples and families. Listen to her introduce the book.

 

Do you wonder how to help your clients to build trust? Particularly after a betrayal or an attachment injury. How to deal with overt lies? How to validate the pattern of fearing to tell the truth?

There are times a therapist needs to differentiate between a negative cycle which has slowly eroded the bond of trust between partners and a specific injurious event which shattered the bond of trust in one momentous blow. All of EFT therapy is a process of building trust – and we take our time throughout the model, step by step, first of all tracking how an automatic self-protective pattern is blocking partners from trusting, and when it is safe enough to share the underlying fears and needs, to reshape a bond of trust. Annabelle Bugatti from Las Vegas interviews Lorrie Brubacher on Building Trust in EFT.
