As experiential therapists, EFT clinicians regularly work in moments of uncertainty. These moments—when the process feels unclear, clients become stuck, or emotions intensify—are not signs of failure, but natural and essential parts of meaningful change. How we meet these moments shapes both the safety of the therapeutic relationship and our own confidence as clinicians.
This experiential and interactive workshop offers an honest, grounded approach to navigating the more challenging moments of EFT across modalities. Participants will explore how clinical confidence is rooted in attachment science, a clear process of change, and the ability to remain genuine and transparent when uncertainty arises. Together, we will examine how compassion—for ourselves and for our clients—supports agency, steadiness, and leadership in moments that matter most.
Whether you are new to EFT or deeply experienced in the model, this session invites reflection, skill-building, and shared learning around the stuck moments, difficult emotions, and relational challenges that are part of our clinical home.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Recognize moments of uncertainty as opportunities for growth within the EFT process
- Use attachment theory to maintain confidence and direction in challenging clinical moments
- Apply transparency and genuineness to support client agency and engagement
- Navigate stuck moments with difficult emotions across EFT modalities
- Reflect on personal and professional responses to uncertainty in clinical work
