Training DVD #1: Healing broken bonds

1993, DVD
This DVD shows one couple progressing through the change process in EFT, from a destructive cycle of blame/withdraw to emotional engagement and the creation of a more secure bond. Excerpts from various sessions are re-enacted along with therapist commentary. Key interventions used in EFT are shown. An excerpt of the first session assessment and the identification of the couples' negative cycle follows. Excerpts from sessions eight and twelve illustrate the process of re-engaging the withdrawn partner in the relationship. A key change event in EFT, softening the more hostile partner, is shown in session 14, and excerpts from session 15 and 17 illustrate how this change is integrated and treatment terminated. The DVD runs for approximately 95 minutes and is taken from real therapy transcripts. These transcripts are illustrated by actors to protect the identity of the couple.

The couples are now entering Stage II where the therapist helps partners to reach for each other and create positive bonding events. The first task is to focus on engaging the more withdrawn partner (John in Couple 1 and Juli in Couple 2).

Training DVD #6: In EFT - Promoting Key Change Events in Emtionally Focused Therapy

Dr. T. Leanne Campbell & Dr. David R. Fairweather,
EFT Trainers and Supervisors

2010, DVD Training Tape: 90 minutes. Directed by Frederic Robinson, FPR Productions - www.FPRProductions.com

This DVD film compellingly depicts Dr. Leanne Campbell’s therapeutic work with three engaging couples (in role play). Interspersed with discussions with her trusted consultant Dr. David Fairweather, "In EFT" chronicles Leanne's day-by-day therapy experiences, and displays her empathic and focused style in helping couples to move toward more authentic emotional contact in EFT sessions.

“In EFT” is divided into three chapters. Chapter 1 - "In Pursuit of the Primary Emotion" – gives us insight into "William and Mary" as we witness Leanne working compassionately and directively to deepen emotional experience with a quiet male withdrawer and anxious female pursuer. Chapter 2 - "Moving Toward Engagement and Softening" – introduces us to "Cindy and Bob" where we see Leanne's focused attempts to engage a blaming male pursuer, and guide him toward a gentler position which could create a safer context for bonding interactions to occur. Chapter 3 - "Coming Together in the Face of Loss" - reveals the courageous determination of "Max and Joanie" in their attempt to rebuild emotional bonds in the face of profound family tragedy.

Training DVD #7: Emotionally Focused Therapy in Action ~ Individual Version

In this 4.5 hour DVD, Dr. Sue Johnson conducts an actual session with a challenging couple haunted by the "echoes of war".

Then Dr. Johnson works with the couple in a brilliant demonstration of the subtley and efficacy of EFT. In a single session, she helps them conceptualize their conflicts in attachment ters, gain an understanding of their negative cycle and begin to reveal some of the vulnerable feelings that underlie their explosive anger.

Commentary with Dr. Johnson and Dr. Victor Yalom before, during and after the consultation and session provides insight into her approach.

Training DVD #11: Caught in the Struggle DVD

Training DVD #12: Stage One of EFT for Couples DVD

Training DVD #13: American Psychological Association Series IV-Relationships DVD

The APA Psychotherapy Videos present distinguished psychologists demonstrating specific approaches to a wide range of patient problems.  In Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy for Clients Dealing With Infidelity, Sue Johnson demonstrates this experiential, integrative approach for helping couples deal more effectively with feelings of distress and negative interaction patterns so that they can restore trust and develop more secure attachment bonds.  Emotionally focused couple therapy centers on emotions and how partners communicate their emotions to one another.  This is a collaborative approach in which the therapist focuses on sitting with the couple as they make sense of their emotions, creating a secure base that facilitates the forgiveness process and the sharing of core fears and needs.  The ultimate goal of therapy is to help couples to learn to speak in a direct and open way about their feelings so that they can state their needs and develop a deeper, richer attachment bond.  In this DVD, Dr. Johnson helps a couple as they struggle with issues surrounding infidelity.

Training DVD #14: Deep Step Three DVD

This emotionally moving DVD shows Dr. Lisa Palmer-Olsen and Kathryn de Bruin doing co-therapy with a couple.  Together they are able to access the more withdrawn partner’s emotions.  It is a good demonstration of a deep step three. This video is stage one but may look like a stage two to the beginning EFT therapist.  It is a stage one because it is the first time this client has accessed the view of self, along with his primary attachment affect, and with Lisa’s and Kathryn’s help, he is becoming more organized around his experience.  It is out of a deep step three that the cycle becomes clearer.  It is not emotionally corrective (that would be stage 2).  Instead he is sharing (stage 1) something he has never shared with his wife before. This video was shown at the Boulder Core Skills in December of 2012. 

Training DVD #16: Shaping Secure Connection: Stages 1 & 2 of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy

 ”Stage 1 of EFT helps partners come together and contain the negative dance that constantly triggers their attachment vulnerabilities and leaves them in emotional starvation.  They then have a secure base to stand and learn to engage at a deeper level in Stage II, where they reach for each other and shape their relationship into a secure bond – a safe haven that supports and nourished both of them.” 

In this video you will see two case presentations and live sessions of Stage I and Stage II (Pursuer Softening) EFT change processes.  In both sessions subtitles appear that comment on interventions as they occur.  Sue and Marlene also discuss their session and outline how each session is typical of the stage in which it occurred.  A link to a full transcript of all content is provided.

  • How to constantly create safety across stages in EFT
