About this episode

This episode discusses how to effectively use attachment history in Emotionally Focused Therapy to gain clinical insights.

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…
