Therapy Resources
The Negative Cycle
The first of our therapy resources is the Negative Cycle by Laura Santomauro, LMFT. Typically this is done in office for couples around the 2nd or 3rd session. It gives us a high-altitude view of communication dynamics and how relationships get stuck in a negative pattern.
A more light-hearted & humorous version of The EFT Negative Pattern by EFT Trainer, George Faller, LMFT. It highlights that all couples get caught in these patterns and what they look like in real time!
Hold Me Tight
This therapy resource is a self-help book for couples. The first 57 pages highlights the Attachment Theory and how it applies to the negative cycle. 3 different types of patterns are outlined. The book then proceeds to take couples through 7 healing conversations.
We recommend that all couples coming into therapy and/or a weekend retreat read the first 57 pages.
Hold Me Tight also has an online version. This has multiple teaching videos and guided worksheets to complete & share the healing conversations.
While this information is rooted in EFT therapy, it is a wonderful precursor. EFT therapy goes much deeper into the emotion, corrective experiences, and healing.
