On-demand (recorded) course Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy with strong evidence indicating that it significantly improves relationship satisfaction and reduces conflict for couples (Beasley & Ager, 2019). At the same time, there are numerous nuances to learn when practicing effective EFT with couples. Because EFT is grounded in attachment science (Johnson, 2017), understanding components of attachment is crucial. Moreover, from Carl Rogers and Sue Johnson through Brene Brown, empathy has been held as a key component in the change process. In this webinar, we will discuss not only the role that empathy plays in attachment but also how curiosity is another key component in therapy. The presenter will articulate how these two "ways of being" are integral parts of both the EFT stages and steps and the Tango in-session mini-model. Although both empathy and curiosity are present throughout EFT, the presenter posits that the 5 steps of the Tango alternate between an emphasis on curiosity followed by emphasis on empathy, and that step 6 of the stages and steps is mostly about empathy. This is an intermediate-level webinar that is appropriate for licensed mental health professionals and students in mental health graduate training programs.
