Instructor: Danielle Green, LICSW, EFT pioneer and one of the founding mothers of EFT in the Boston area.
Danielle’s presentation focused on getting to emotional handles. Emotional handles are such an important aspect of EFT. They are an essential part of attuning, assembling and deepening and getting to fears and longings and rarely talked about indepth.
Danielle shared two segments of tape with us—in the first one she struggled getting to the emotional handle with an escalated pursuer and in the second tape the pursuing partner is significantly deescalated. Danielle is then able to help her client drop down into her vulnerable emotion—and able to pull out how it feels for the client underneath the negative cycle.
We had several breakout sessions to practice and discuss the first and second tapes and ended with a lively discussion with the larger group about blocks to getting to emotional handles—for both clients and therapists.
We are so grateful to Danielle for so generously giving her time and bringing us such a rich learning experience.
