  This episode had such a great conversational flow to it! After reading so much of her work, it&apos;s cool to hear her chat about some of her background and her therapeutic process. <br> <br>I loved hearing about how growing up in her family&apos;s pub in England provided a unique opportunity for her to observe so many different people&apos;s emotional interactions. It was interesting to hear how she observed her father (as the barkeep/publican) listening to patrons with attunement and compassion, often while they commiserated with him about troubles in their personal lives. <br> <br>It was also really interesting to hear Sue summarize the EFT process by giving some examples of distressed-couples interactions. While telling these stories she walked through a few role-play scenarios of how she would interact with certain in-session challenges with clients, such as helping reluctant or &quot;blocked&quot; clients to build trust and begin to soften and open up. <br> <br>I think my biggest takeaway might be the idea that while boundaries and building trust is crucially important, there are no &quot;dead ends&quot; in a therapy session even when a client is blocking and not interested in &quot;opening up&quot;. <br> <br>She mentions that attachment theory can be used as a &quot;map&quot; to help clients understand how their distress is connected to unmet needs or fears, which have important emotions connected to them. <br> <br>Hope there are follow up episodes some day! Would be really interesting to hear more about: <br>- how EFIT is used to help individuals in therapy sessions <br>- how clients and the therapists determine whether attunement / attachment goals are successfully reached <br>- how different kinds of clients, with different needs and personalities, learn to successfully integrate what they&apos;ve learned into their lives for lasting resolution. <br> <br>Cheers!

  I am a EFT therapist and I miss Dr Johnson a lot people don’t understand that she had an Ed.D which is a Doctorate in Education not a PhD that many people assume. She said in an interview she didn’t want to do a Clinical Program. Many people put she had an PhD and that is incorrect. In Canada, you can be a psychologist with an EdD unlike in the United States. It requires you to have a clinical doctorate degree RIP 🙏🏾
