Great episode! Looking forward to read more of Dr. Johnson's work
This episode had such a great conversational flow to it! After reading so much of her work, it's cool to hear her chat about some of her background and her therapeutic process.
I loved hearing about how growing up in her family's pub in England provided a unique opportunity for her to observe so many different people's emotional interactions. It was interesting to hear how she observed her father (as the barkeep/publican) listening to patrons with attunement and compassion, often while they commiserated with him about troubles in their personal lives.
It was also really interesting to hear Sue summarize the EFT process by giving some examples of distressed-couples interactions. While telling these stories she walked through a few role-play scenarios of how she would interact with certain in-session challenges with clients, such as helping reluctant or "blocked" clients to build trust and begin to soften and open up.
I think my biggest takeaway might be the idea that while boundaries and building trust is crucially important, there are no "dead ends" in a therapy session even when a client is blocking and not interested in "opening up".
She mentions that attachment theory can be used as a "map" to help clients understand how their distress is connected to unmet needs or fears, which have important emotions connected to them.
Hope there are follow up episodes some day! Would be really interesting to hear more about:
- how EFIT is used to help individuals in therapy sessions
- how clients and the therapists determine whether attunement / attachment goals are successfully reached
- how different kinds of clients, with different needs and personalities, learn to successfully integrate what they've learned into their lives for lasting resolution.
Cheers!
