EP 111: Working with Ambivalence in EFT Emotionally Focused Therapy featuring EFT Trainer Dr. Ting Liu

Sun, 24 May 2026 21:00:39 -0700

In this powerful EFT training discussion, We Heart Therapy host (Anabelle Bugatti) Dr. Belle, PhD, LMFT/EFT Supervisor/Therapist sits down with Emotionally Focused Therapy trainer Dr. Ting Liu and explores how therapists can effectively work with ambivalence in couples therapy and attachment-based healing.

Ambivalence is one of the most common challenges therapists encounter in EFT sessions, especially when partners feel stuck between connection and protection, longing and fear, or closeness and withdrawal, staying or leaving.

In this conversation, Dr. Ting Liu shares clinical insight into:

• Working with emotional ambivalence in EFT

• Helping couples navigate uncertainty and emotional disconnection

• EFT interventions for pursuer-withdrawer dynamics

• Clinical applications of Emotionally Focused Therapy with Ambivalence

Whether you are an EFT therapist, LMFT, psychologist, counseling student, or simply interested in attachment science and relationship healing, this video offers valuable insights into the EFT process and how to work with complex relational dynamics.

EP 110: How to Use Attachment History in EFT (Step-by-Step Insight) - featuring EFT Trainer Dr. Ryan Rana

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 15:09:37 -0700

EFT Talk: Your Guide to Emotionally Focused Therapy 🎙️💙 Featuring Dr. Belle, PhD, LMFT, Cert. EFT Supervisor & Therapist Most therapists are gathering attachment history… but not using it effectively. In this episode, Host EFT Supervisor & Therapist Dr. Belle & EFT Trainer Dr. Ryan Rana break down how to turn attachment history into real clinical insight. In this conversation, I sit down with EFT Trainer Dr. Ryan Rana to explore how to use a client’s attachment history during assessment to begin identifying the negative cycle and the client’s attachment dilemma. Many therapists are already gathering attachment history but often aren’t sure how to translate that information into something clinically useful. In this video, we break down how attachment history becomes a roadmap for understanding emotional patterns, how clients organize their responses in relationships, their attachment fears and longings and how these show up in the cycle. If you’re learning EFT or want to deepen your case conceptualization, this will help you move from 👉 information gathering → meaningful understanding 🔥 Join the Full Training (May 22nd – Online), We’re offering a 1-day training where we go deeper into using attachment history in assessment identifying the cycle understanding attachment dilemmas in real time. 💻 Open to therapists and grad students Sign up Here: 👉 https://www.snveft.com/attachmenthist... 🌐 Resources Learn EFT!

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 21:23:34 -0800

Welcome to We Heart Therapy – The EFT Talk Series, where we explore the heart of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) through meaningful conversations with leaders in the field.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Senem Zeytinoğlu, ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer and Founder of the Turkey Center for EFT in Istanbul, for a rich and thoughtful discussion on Self of the Therapist (SOT) issues in EFT Supervision—and why this work is essential for ethical, effective, and emotionally present EFT practice.

Self of the Therapist work helps EFT therapists understand how their own attachment histories, emotional triggers, and nervous system responses show up in clinical work and supervision. Dr. Zeytinoğlu shares how attending to SOT deepens therapist resilience, strengthens the therapeutic alliance, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for couples and individuals.

🎙️ In This EFT Talk Episode, We Explore:

What Self of the Therapist (SOT) means in the context of EFT supervision
Why SOT work is essential—not optional—in EFT training and supervision
How therapists’ attachment patterns can show up in sessions and supervision
The role of safety, compassion, and emotional presence in supervisory relationships
How EFT supervisors can support growth without shame or judgment
Why SOT work supports therapist sustainability and prevents burnout

This episode is especially valuable for EFT therapists, supervisors, trainers, and therapists who want to deepen their work, increase self-awareness, and practice EFT with greater clarity and confidence.

EP 78: Working with Withdrawers in Emotionally Focused Therapy (Part 2) - Featuring EFT Trainer Dr. Sam Jinich

Sat, 11 Feb 2023 20:01:31 -0800

In relationships we often get into negative "cycles" or patterns of interaction, where miscommunication leads to anger, defenses, and disconnection. One of the most common relational patterns is the Pursuer-Withdrawer pattern. Pursuers often initiate discussions, want to talk things out right away, and move closer toward their partner to connect, whereas Withdrawers often shut down or get silent to avoid confrontation and may even leave the room to get "space" to manage difficult emotions. At the same time, everyone may do both a little of both at different times, whether you're a pursuer or a withdrawer boils down to your primary instinctual tendency during conflict. As EFT Emotionally Focused Therapists, it is important that we understand what's happening inside the world of both pursuers and withdrawers. Join We Heart Therapy Host Anabelle Bugatti, Ph.D., LMFT, and Certified EFT Trainer Sam Jinich, Ph.D., as they discuss how to understand the world of a withdrawer and tips and strategies within EFT for helping these clients.

EP 76: Working with Spiritual & Religious Bypasses in Session Using EFT - Featuring EFT Trainer James Hawkins

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 21:17:07 -0800

The client's use of their spiritual values and religion in their therapy sessions can really be an asset to the client's mental health. However, sometimes, clients can use their religious values or spiritual beliefs as a block or an exit during sessions as a sort of bypass to avoid doing some of the deeper emotional work that's needed. Spirituality and Religion can be super helpful, and it can be very delicate to know what to do when you want to honor the client's beliefs but also recognize when it's coming up in session as a way to avoid doing deeper work. As therapists, we want to make sure that we don't dismiss a client's spiritual or religious beliefs, or that we also don't get stuck preaching to them either (be sure of your ethical best practices here!).

Join We Heart Therapy host Dr. Belle and ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer "Doc Hawk," James Hawkins Ph.D., as they discuss how to work with clients' use of spiritual/religious bypasses in session using EFT Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 11:34:23 -0700

Anger can easily be one of the most misunderstood emotions. Anger tells us something important about a person's pain and fear and plays an important function in our survival. Sometimes anger can also show up as a response to trauma, and learning how to work with anger similarly to the way we work with Trauma can be helpful in working with angry clients.

Join We Heart Therapy host Anabelle Bugatti Ph.D., LMFT, and special guests, Belgium EFT Trainer Lieven Migerode and EFT Supervisor Jef Slootmaeckers as they discuss how to work with anger as a form of trauma in relationships using Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Fri, 19 Aug 2022 22:28:16 -0700

As therapists, we often have clients that come to therapy that engage in habits and behaviors that are consistent with addiction, but because their behaviors don't fit into the stereotypical societal definition of addiction, they may struggle to see the problem with their behavior or even recognize their behavior as a part of problematic substance use. Join We Heart Therapy Host Dr. Belle Ph.D., LMFT (Certified EFT Supervisor & Therapist), and Jim Thomas, ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer, Supervisor & Therapist, and Addiction Specialist as they discuss the EFT techniques and interventions to work with clients with problematic substance use.

EP 72: Working with Autism & Emotion in Couples Therapy using EFT - Featuring EFT Trainer Scott Woolley, PhD

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 21:25:13 -0700

There are many reasons why a person may have had to learn to shut down emotion, avoid doing emotion or simply was never taught how to express their emotions outwardly, all of which have nothing to do with Autism. Yet, many therapists mistake a lack of emotional expression right off the bat for Autism, which can cause a therapist to jump to a pathological conclusion without really understanding the whole picture.

And while lack of appropriate emotional expression or flat affect can be a diagnostic criteria for autism, there are also many people in the world who have Autism and can name and identify emotions as well. Regardless of whether or not a person comes for couples counseling or individual psychotherapy with autism, the diagnosis does not have to equal total hopelessness for learning how to do emotions. And in either case, the work a skilled Emotionally Focused Therapist will do in session for any client with trouble feeling and expressing emotion will be the same, whether or not a person does have Autism.

Join We Heart Therapy host & Cert. EFT Supervisor/Therapist Dr. Belle and special guest, EFT Trainer Scott Woolley, PhD, as they discuss Autism, emotions, and how to use Emotionally Focused Therapy to work with both dynamics.

EP 70: Using Emotionally Focused Therapy to Repair Social Injuries - Featuring EFT Trainer James Hawkins PhD

Sun, 13 Feb 2022 22:19:33 -0800

Right now in society, it has never been more important to learn how to have hard conversations that are effective and lead to understanding and healing the pain of social injustices and injuries that have taken place. The good news is, is that Emotionally Focused Therapy offers us a clear roadmap for having such challenging and important conversations. Using the EFT map around healing attachment injuries can help bring people within not just our families and friends, but also within our society into the conversation that can hopefully result in healing, understanding, repairing, and connection. Remember, a person doesn't have to have bad intentions in their heart in order to unknowingly be doing something that is sending a signal of danger or disconnection to another. This is why it has never been more important to learn how to have effective conversations where two seemingly different perspectives can come together not in a spirit of blame and attack but to a place of repair; offering understanding and empathy in a place of pain, creating awareness and change around danger cues, and having important repairative conversations that build connection together.

Join We Heart Therapy host Dr. Belle and ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer "Doc Hawk", James Hawkins PhD, as they discuss how to use EFT's attachment injury repair model as a map to having challenging conversations and repair social injuries.

Sun, 02 Jan 2022 21:23:45 -0800

Therapy isn't always about restoring bonds and helping them heal and avoid breaking apart; sometimes bonds and relationships break apart, and our clients need a safe place to process the hurt and begin the journey towards healing.

EP 68: Having Relentless Empathy for Challenging Clients in EFT - Featuring EFT Trainers Jef Slootmaeckers & Lieven Migerode

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 22:18:59 -0800

When clinicians and therapists have clients that are more challenging than others because they present with more difficult dynamics, or seem resistant to the necessary work needed to create the change they desire, therapists can easily get stuck in pathology, diagnosis, and even struggle to maintain the therapeutic alliance, especially in couples therapy sessions where the alliance must be built with 2 people simultaneously rather than just one. Challenging or difficult clients can present obstacles to empathy for therapists, yet empathy is the very tool that therapists need in order to help stay out of pathology and with the client's humanity as an effective way to maintain a good therapeutic alliance. Join We Heart Therapy host Anabelle Bugatti Ph.D., LMFT, and special guests, Belgium EFT Trainers Lieven Migerode and Jef Slootmaeckers, specialists in working with couples who suffer from violence in their relationships, as we discuss how to maintain and hone Relentless Empathy as a therapeutic skill for building safe and good therapeutic alliances for challenging and difficult clients using Emotionally Focused Therapy.

EP 67: Working with Trauma using EFT for Individuals ”EFIT” - Featuring EFT Trainer Dr. Leanne Campbell

Sat, 09 Oct 2021 19:32:08 -0700

If you're a therapist or professional counselor, working with clients who have been through trauma is an important area to be fully trained in to provide the best care. The mental health industry's current Gold Standard for therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy or EFT, whether for couples, families, or individuals, has been demonstrated through many outcome research to be one of the most effective models for helping people heal and connect. EFT is founded on attachment science and is offered by clinicians around the globe. Often, people with trauma in their past have written out any possibility of having safe relationships or have closed themselves off to being closely connected and vulnerable with others in a secure relationship. For some, even finding a safe relationship has seemed nearly impossible.

Wed, 01 Jan 2020 20:50:19 -0800

It's formerly been thought that couples with domestic violence or inter-partner violence are not appropriate candidates for couples therapy. This is no longer the case.

Additionally, recent research has shown the effectiveness of Emotionally Focused Therapy in helping couples with violence in their relationships experience healing.

EP 27: EFT Talk: Silence and Micro-expressions in Emotionally Focused Therapy featuring Dr. Ting Liu

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 08:39:00 -0700

We all have clients that have a variety of ways of expression emotions, even when they don't appear to be emoting outwardly. Silence can become a little but of a shaky area for therapists to understand what do with the silence, how long to allow the silence to continue, and how to delve into it. Similarly, some cultures and people emote much less obviously than others. Understanding micro-expressions, especially as they pertain to diverse cultural expressions for emotions can be extremely helpful for therapists. Dr. Ting Liu specializes in bringing EFT to diverse cultures, the discussions in this video are applicable to being able to pick up on and attune to micro expressions of emotion. Join We Heart Therapy host Anabelle Bugatti, PhD, LMFT and special guest Ting Liu, PhD EFT Trainer/Supervisor and director of the Philadelphia Center for EFT as well as the Asia Center for EFT as we discuss diving into silence and micro-expressions in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
