and disconnection with others.”

GOALS OF EFIT:
GROWTH AND HOW? GROWTH THROUGH CONNECTION

“Our sense of who we are is constructed and evolves in our most
CONNECTION important relationships” (Johnson, 2019; Johnson & Campbell, 2022)

SPECIFIC GOALS:

To identify and unblock barriers to growth/unleash organic
growth process

To offer corrective experiences that positively impact models

of self and other and shape stable, lasting change

To enable clients to move into the accessibility/openness,

responsiveness and full engagement that characterizes secure
attachment with others

To enable clients to shape a coherent sense of a competent

self that can deal with existential life issues and become a fully
alive human being

  

 
STAGE 1: STABILIZATION

STAGE 2: RESTRUCTURING – SELF AND

SYSTEM

STAGE 3:
CONSOLIDATION/INTEGRATION

The EFIT ‘safe haven’ alliance − therapist is open,
responsive and engaged. An attuned surrogate/temporary
attachment figure. I am with you, see you, hear you --

A systematic guide to the heart of trauma - chaotic,
frightening, alien, and unacceptable emotion. Attachment
science provides a map to longing, loss and fear.

EFIT: ON

Clear guidance for connecting with self and others — the
ultimate resource — antidote to isolation.

A non-pathologizing way to find the order/logic in

TARGET FOR
“dysfunction.”

A well tested set of interventions focused on the present
construction of experience and self. The EFIT Tango gives

TRAUMA
focused direction and momentum to therapy sessions. You
and I can put this emotion together right now in a way that is
not so scary. Let’s look for the trigger and see how your

RECOVERY
body responds.

A precise map to the shaping of change: that is, the
creation of key emotional epiphanies that redefine self,
trauma and victimhood.

An existential growth model leading to vibrant living/ entry
into an organic growth process (not simply symptom
reduction).
Client: I don’t have to numb out anymore. I can reach for
comfort and take it in. I can trust myself and my vulnerability.
I can live and love!
