Managing Moments That Matter: Finding Confidence Through Compassion and Connection with EFT Across Modalities
Presenters:
Gail Palmer, Jim Furrow, Robin Williams Blake, Paul Greenman, Ali Barbosa
Format:
Experiential learning, clinical reflection, discussion
Session: Full Day — May 9, 2027
Modality: EFT across modalities (EFIT, EFCT, EFFT)
Level: All levels
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.

Leveraging the Attachment Caregiving System to Transform Trauma with EFT Across Modalities
Presenters:
Hanna Pinomaa, Jef Slootmaeckers, Leanne Campbell, George Faller
Format:
Experiential learning, video examples, guided reflection
Session: Full Day — May 9, 2027
Modality: EFT across modalities (EFIT, EFCT, EFFT)
Level: Intermediate–Advanced
Trauma narrows perception, constricts connection, and often leaves clients feeling trapped in patterns of helplessness and isolation. In the therapy room, clinicians are asked to meet these realities with clarity, steadiness, and hope. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a clear, attachment-based pathway for transforming trauma’s impact into resilience, connection, and growth.
In this experiential workshop, participants will learn how to leverage the attachment caregiving system and the EFT Tango to support trauma transformation across individual, couple, and family modalities. Through rich clinical video examples and guided reflection, presenters will demonstrate how to harness emotion and attachment to create transformative limbic shifts—moving clients from survival-based strategies toward secure connection and care.
This session emphasizes moment-to-moment clinical decision-making and the use of the safe haven–secure base alliance to keep clients at their leading edge of growth. Participants will leave with increased confidence and practical strategies they can apply immediately in trauma-focused EFT work.
