  • 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.

  • 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!).
