CounselingExamHave you ever found yourself smack in the middle of a heated moment and wondered, "How did I get here?" Or maybe, you've seen patterns in your relationships that you just can't seem to break free from. Get ready for an insightful journey into Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a theory seated in the lap of attachment theory. Despite the Michigan cold and the Florida sun, your hosts Dr. Linton Hutchinson and Stacy Frost are ready to guide you through this enlightening conversation. From understanding the three key stages of EFT - stabilization, restructuring, and integration - the fun only begins. We will discuss a case study of a couple grappling with communication issues and how EFT techniques come to their rescue. Navigating the waters of negative interaction cycles to unearthing unmet needs, this episode is a comprehensive exploration of EFT. We will also tackle the common fear of therapists being seen as biased, and share some ingenious strategies. Expect to laugh, learn, and leave with a deeper understanding of couples therapy, even if you aren't practicing it.If you need to study for your NCMHCE narrative exam, try the free samplers at: CounselingExam.comThis podcast is not associated with the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.
