09: Navigating All The Feels: Emotionally Focused Therapy EFT with Jessica Schroeder

Emotions are an essential part of our everyday lives, but not everyone has the tools to navigate them effectively. This is where Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) comes into play! In this episode, Jessica Schroeder shares her personal experience with EFT and how it changed her perspective on human existence.

 

Join us as we discuss the impact of childhood relationships on adult attachment styles and behaviors, and how it can manifest in fear of failure, abandonment and disappointment. Learn how EFT can help you gain the tools to process past experiences and express your emotions effectively, as well as break unhealthy patterns and help lead you to a more fulfilling life!
