| Summary |
This is a remarkable and unique video series, in that it shows an actual, unedited course of couples therapy over 10 sessions. Unlike many training videos, this was filmed in an actual therapy office, not in a studio setting, and the cameras were controlled from a remote office, so there was no one in the room other than the therapist and the couple. It should be noted that there is no didactic explanation or commentary, so viewers will get the most out of this if they have some familiarity with Emotionally Focused Therapy before watching the videos. In many ways, Carl and Sandra's relationship is ideally suited for EFT. They present with significant communication problems and pain related to their unmet attachment needs, but despite their distress they are neither abusive to one another nor checked out of the relationship yet. And for a training video they, they are especially engaging, bright, and feisty. Let's be honest: most therapy is typically a rather painstaking process, and watching 14 hours of most treatments would attract only the most dedicated students. But we think once you start watching this case, you'll be hooked until the end. In the small amount of time that she works with them, Jorgensen is able to accomplish the key goals of EFT: accessing and reframing key emotional responses, facilitating shifts in the partners' interactional positions, and creating new emotional experiences between them. Therapy preferably takes place over a longer period of time to allow these new emotional experiences to reshape the relationship in an enduring way. Carl and Sandra end therapy just as they are beginning to have new relational experiences, so they have their work cut out for them in maintaining this practice on their own, but this is nonetheless a remarkable demonstration of how much can be done with a skilled therapist and a motivated couple in a short amount of time. "Dr Jorgensen's attuned responsiveness and skill shows how EFT not only shapes trust and secure bonding, but also how such bonding shapes stronger and more confidant partners. You can't help but learn a great deal from watching this master EFT therapist and trainer in action!" -- Susan Johnson, EdD, Director, International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy; Author, The Practice of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Hold Me Tight, and Love Sense. "This incredibly useful video series covers new ground by showing an entire course of EFT treatment over 10 sessions. Dr. Jorgensen's warm, calm style demonstrates the importance of the developing and maintaining the alliance, while her absolutely relentless focus on the model brings EFT to life in an accessible way. I found the sessions so captivating that I watched the entire 14 hours over 3 days!" -- Jean Shirkoff, LCSW, Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor "After years of studying, practicing and trying to integrate the complexities of EFT, this series of ten sessions with a MASTER therapist has helped me more than all the travel, all the reading, all the hours I've spent watching tapes. Seeing Rebecca's incredible technique and consistent use of the method finally helped EFT sink in to my brain at a deeply felt level. My sessions are not the same. Thank you, Rebecca and to your lovely clients." -- Sunny Mavor, MFT, Bozeman, MT "Wow, what lovely EFT work. Rebecca Jorgensen's pacing is slow as she helps the couple unfold and bring to consciousness the pattern of disconnection they've developed. Her gentle conjectures are so very respectful. I loved watching her eyes move back and forth between the partners tracking how comments and her reflection of the cycle was landing for each. She was relentlessly empathic while investigating the cycle. Within one session, she was able to identify and the couple could see the cycle. It is masterful!!!! Thank you for this excellent example of EFT in action. I highly recommend this series." -- Wanda Garner, MS, Certified EFT Therapist |
