Explain why creating a sense of safety is a key component of Emotionally Focused Therapy
You’ll discover how to:
• Turn down the emotional threat in a relationship so partners can reach for each other emotionally and physically
• Help clients transform painful moments of disconnection to starting points for restoring intimacy, emotional and sexual, in their relationship
• Coach partners in creating bonding moments that increase empathy, and open them to being fully available to each other
• Strengthen secure attachment between partners so they feel free to take more risks in exploring their sexuality with each other
