The Emotional Cycle vs. the Sexual Cycle in EFT: What’s the Difference? Featuring EFT Trainer George Faller, LMFT & Dr. Laurie Watson, PhD   Are a couple’s emotional cycle and sexual cycle the same thing? Where do they overlap—and where are they fundamentally different?   In this special edition of We Heart Therapy, host Dr. Belle, PhD, LMFT, ICEEFT Certified EFT Supervisor & Therapist, sits down with George Faller, LMFT, ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer, and Dr. Laurie Watson, PhD, AASECT Certified Supervisor and ICEEFT Certified EFT Therapist, for a fascinating conversation about the similarities and differences between the emotional and sexual cycles in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).   For EFT therapists, we’re accustomed to tracking the negative interaction cycle and helping partners recognize the attachment fears, longings, emotions, and protective strategies that keep them stuck. But does the couple’s sexual cycle follow the same pattern?   ❤️ THE EMOTIONAL CYCLE & THE SEXUAL CYCLE   🔥 George, Laurie, and Dr. Belle explore how a couple can become caught in repeating patterns both **emotionally and sexually**—and why those patterns may overlap without necessarily being identical.   How does pursuit and withdrawal look when we move from an emotional interaction into a sexual one? Can a partner pursue emotionally but withdraw sexually—or vice versa? What happens when the emotional cycle and sexual cycle appear to tell us different things about the relationship?   And importantly, what does an EFT therapist need to listen for in order to recognize the difference?   In this conversation, we explore: ❤️ How the emotional cycle and sexual cycle are similar 🔥 The important ways the sexual cycle can differ from the emotional cycle ❤️ Where emotional and sexual cycles intersect and influence one another 🔥 Why therapists shouldn’t automatically assume that a couple’s sexual pattern perfectly mirrors their emotional cycle ❤️ How recognizing both cycles can give EFT therapists a richer understanding of the couple’s experience   For EFT therapists and couples therapists, understanding these distinctions can open up an entirely different layer of the couple’s attachment experience.   🎙️ MEET GEORGE FALLER & DR. LAURIE WATSON George Faller, LMFT is an ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer, Supervisor, and Therapist based in New York.

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.   🔗 Learn more about EFT Emotionally Focused Therapy by Dr. Sue Johnson and Official EFT Training: https://www.iceeft.com   🔗 Learn more about Dr. Ting Liu: Website: https://centralpaeft.com/training https://asia-eft.com/   🔗 Learn more about Dr. Belle, PhD, LMFT: https://www.drbelle.com https://www.WeHeartTherapy.com https://www.LasVegasMarriageCounselin... 🔗 Southern Nevada Community for Emotionally Focused Therapy (SNVEFT): https://www.snveft.com   If you enjoyed this video, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE to support more conversations on Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment science, couples therapy, and relationship healing.   #EmotionallyFocusedTherapy #EFT #CouplesTherapy #AttachmentTheory #DrTingLiu #SusanJohnson #RelationshipTherapy #MarriageTherapy #EmotionallyFocusedCouplesTherapy #TherapistTraining #EFTTrainer #AttachmentInjury #WeHeartTherapy #SNVEFT #TherapyTraining #LMFT #Psychotherapy #EmotionallyFocusedIndividualTherapy #EFTAsia

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!

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.   📚 RESOURCES & LINKS:   🇹🇷 Connect with Dr. Senem Zeytinoğlu: Turkey Center for EFT (Istanbul) 🌐 https://docat.org 📧 Email: [email protected]   📘 Buy My Book Using Relentless Empathy in the Therapeutic Relationship: Connecting with Challenging and Resistant Clients on Amazon: 👉 https://a.co/d/dkFt7B7   Learn More About Dr. Sue Johnson's official EFT Training (ICEEFT): The International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT) 👉 https://iceeft.com   💻 For Official EFT Training Events held in Las Vegas: 👉 https://www.snveft.com   💻 Visit My Website – Anabelle Bugatti, PhD, LMFT aka Dr.Belle: 👉 www.DrBelle.com www.LasVegasMarriageCounseling.com   💻 Visit We Heart Therapy and attend CE Events: 👉 www.WeHeartTherapy.com
