Love how this book covers EFT techniques, examples, and theory. I also appreciated how Brubacher uses the model in the context of addiction and individual therapy, showing ways to conceptualize cases through a need for secure attachments. So good!

This definitely reads like a textbook, but I felt it was a pretty good introduction to EFT. I’ll definitely be checking out the video and other online resources because this was often dense and abstract. I found many typos which was annoying.

This is THE book for EFT. I love Sue Johnson, but I don't find her writing very concise or clear. I'm sure she was an amazing in-person trainer, but I really struggle with her writing. This book really distills (pun intended) what is going on in EFT and WHY. If I could go back, I would have started with this book - I'm sure Sue's books have helped me as well, but reading this book brings it all together in a clear way that I'm not sure I would have reached without it - a lot of confusion and overwhelm is gone.

Σε συνέχεια των βιβλίων της Sue Johnson, συμπληρώνεται εδώ η περιγραφή της ικανότητας και της μαεστρίας για τον EFT θεραπευτή.
Ένα πολύτιμο κι απαραίτητο εγχειρίδιο για τη θεραπεία ζεύγους στην προσέγγιση EFT, επεξηγηματικό κι εμπλουτισμένο, στα χνάρια της μεγάλης (μας) δασκάλας.

Good for people beginning to learn EFT or if it has just been a while since you've done Core Skills!
