Three different therapists counsel a bi-racial couple using three different theoretical models: Solution-focused, Emotionally-focused, and Somatic Experiencing. The couple presents with complex issues of work-related stress; the wife struggles with her husband's busy schedule and worries about its effects on their family life. Witness professionals skillfully demonstrate these theories as they provide counseling to help mitigate these issues.

Emotional roadblocks often arise when issues of race, culture, ethnicity are met by helping professionals. Drs. Kinselica and Sue describe their racial/cultural awakening as a White person and a Person of Color and share personal experiences with racism, bigotry and bias. Dr. Kinselica courageously describes his defensive reactions to reading the text as a doctoral student, his anger at Sue for attacking the mental health professions as being harmful to marginalized groups, and his final painful realization that he had inherited racist attitudes and beliefs. Dr. Sue describes early experiences of prejudice and discrimination in childhood, lessons and insights learned as a result of being different in a monocultural society, and the constant feeling that current psychology did not reflect his experiential reality which led to the writing of his best-selling book. Specific suggestions are given about what students must do to overcome their own racist cultural conditioning in order to be a culturally competent citizen and helping professional.

Sue Johnson demonstrates Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy in an actual couples therapy session. Watch this master therapist and learn how to emotionally engage couples within a structured, manualized therapy format.
In this program, Johnson works with a couple on the brink of divorce. Leslie says she can't take Scott's explosive temper anymore; Scott says he thinks Leslie sees him as "just a mean and nasty guy." Johnson helps Leslie communicate that it is not Scott she can't be close to, but his temper that keeps her away. As Johnson helps Scott explore "softer" emotions hidden underneath his anger, the couple discovers how difficult it is to traverse this foreign territory. Nonetheless, Johnson's persistent and gentle coaching helps them to take risks and begin to connect in ways they've never experienced before, providing a spark of hope that they can reverse their downward spiral.

Learn how to help couples deescalate their negative emotional interactions and create new, healthy patterns and cycles of engagement.

The therapeutic needs of same-sex couples are given some long-overdue attention in this masterful video with EFT originator Dr. Sue Johnson, who offers fresh hope to a gay and a lesbian couple using her signature framework for repairing the partners' emotional "dance."
The underlying assumption in Emotionally Focused Therapy, says expert couples therapist Dr. Sue Johnson, is that vulnerable emotions, emotion regulation strategies, and attachment needs and fears are universal. In this illuminating new video, Johnson applies her groundbreaking therapeutic framework to the relationship difficulties of two same-sex couples, one gay and one lesbian.
Tim and Andrew, along with Jamie and Kelly, have participated in a handful of EFT sessions to understand their seemingly deep-seated conflicts and salvage their partnerships-or to decide once and for all if that's even possible. In consultation with their respective therapists, Johnson enters the room for an extended session with each couple, where she masterfully helps deconstruct their relationship patterns, meticulously tracks each partner to reveal their core attachment messages, and employs direct communication tactics to guide them closer to the "safe haven" of a mutually satisfying bond. All this is done with a trusting working alliance and empathic attention to the issues same-sex couples face-which you'll learn more about by watching Johnson's unique panel discussion with three other EFT therapists.
If you're looking to increase your skill with same-sex couples or gain deeper insight into the EFT model for partners of any sexual orientation, you'll love this engaging and culturally important video.
By watching this video, you will:
Understand how the core attachment orientation of EFT fits with same-sex couples.
Learn to apply essential EFT interventions to these couples.
Deepen your knowledge of the particular issues same-sex partners face, and ways to adapt EFT to address these issues.

Sandra and Carl begin therapy with a number of active conflicts, from whether to sell their boat to where they want to live. Sandra complains that Carl doesn't express his emotions, commenting "it's like being with a cardboard character." Meanwhile Carl is fearful that he cannot provide what Sandra needs, and feels that Sandra's greater emotional acumen makes it difficult for him to share. In these first sessions, Jorgensen works to quickly develop an alliance with the couple, which enables them to begin to explore the hurt, fear and sadness that lie just under the surface of their disagreements. She identifies the couple's negative interaction cycle in the first session, and begins to reframe the problem as rooted in underlying feelings and unmet needs.
In the third session, their negative cycle becomes clearer as it is repeatedly enacted, and we witness Jorgensen demonstrate key skills necessary for Stage 1 EFT work, particularly her deft handling of their emotional reactivity. She is able to interrupt their conflicts before they spin out of control, and create space for them to experience a novel way of interacting. Although Carl and Sandra are both fearful about expressing their feelings directly to one another, they begin to share touching moments of closeness during these early sessions.

Carl and Sandra's relationship begins to show important signs of progress. In their fourth session, the couple is slow to admit the primary emotions that underlie their complaints. By empathically validating the pain and confusion Sandra and Carl feel while reframing their experiences as part of their cycle, Jorgensen creates a space that enables Carl to come out of his withdrawn, defensive stance and admit that he does not express his care for Sandra. Carl's emergence marks a turning point for the couple, and Jorgensen plants the seed for softening Sandra's pursuer role by reflecting, "you don't quite know how to run to Carl's arms when you're distressed."
Over the next two sessions, the couple begins to assimilate the cycle as the root of their problem, and with Jorgensen's guidance, they soften considerably toward one another. Sandra reflects that she is now able to look at Carl in session, though she still has difficulty revealing why that has been so painful. The moments of connection between Sandra and Carl increase, as they both acknowledge that they do not want to be without the other. In a heartening sign of the headway they have made, Sandra expresses her excitement about the adventure of creating a new relationship with Carl, even as the prospect is very frightening for her.

By now Sandra and Carl have become much more comfortable acknowledging their attachment needs, but the powerful emotions driving their cycle still elude them. Jorgensen continues to probe with evocative questions, which guide the couple to explore intensely vulnerable feelings of longing, fear, and rejection. Sandra and Carl's willingness to cover such painful territory is fortified by the visible warmth that has blossomed between them over the preceding weeks.
As the therapy progresses into the eighth and ninth sessions, Sandra's deep attachment fear becomes more obvious. She struggles to feel Carl's love for her, even as he explains, "I don't want to be the next person in your life who lets you down." These sessions exemplify the evolution into Stage 2 EFT, as Jorgensen works to soften Sandra's pursuit and pull Carl out of his withdrawn position. When Carl tells her how difficult it is to say that he needs her love, Sandra finally lets her guard down and exclaims, "I feel like I'm rolling through the flowers with you!"
Jorgensen has helped the couple lay the groundwork for a new relationship, but the couple still has a lot of work ahead of them. As wanderlust calls them to pull up stakes and voyage on to greener pastures, the focus of their last session turns to how they can continue their work going forward. And while the therapy may not have reached an ideal stage for the couple, it has provided them with a new perspective, instilled them with hope, and set them on a trajectory toward a deeper connection with each other.
