Overview:
Adult romantic bonds rely not only on attachment needs but also on caregiving responsiveness. This workshop highlights how EFCT can transform moments where caregiving blocks emerge, preventing partners from responding to emotional vulnerability. Through case material and clinical framing, participants will learn how to access and shift caregiving responses to promote accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement—strengthening secure connection.

Learning outcomes:

• Describe the caregiving system in the context of adult attachment
• Identify markers of blocked caregiving and their relational impact
• Facilitate caregiving responsiveness using EFT interventions aligned with A.R.E.
