Today’s episode is all about giving you an incredibly practical
tool for navigating emotion-focused conversations anywhere and with
anyone. To do that, we’ve invited Dr. Allison Chase to walk us
through Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT for short).
Mostly, we will focus on Emotion Coaching - a skill that creates
shortcuts between two very different parts of the brain. The
results are powerful and can help you and your loved one feel
connected and empowered rather than confused and upset.
It’s important to note that Dr. Chase discusses EFFT skills in the
context of a caregiver’s relationship with someone battling an
eating disorder, but you can take EFFT skills into any relationship
that gets sidetracked by intense emotional outbursts - be they at
work, home, or out in the world.
