EFT-Related YouTube Clips
We have a number of excellent EFT-related videos on this site. We have them on two pages: videos for therapy and videos for therapists. We'd just like to highlight a few here we have collected for therapists.
The Still-Face experiment by Dr Edward Tronick.
This is attachment theory in action and shows a child’s reaction when the mother does not respond or interact with the child. Much research supports the view that adults react in similar ways; when we feel cut off from our loved one, we go into a kind of panic. We have lost the connection, our main source of safety and comfort.
Soothing the Threatened Brain by Sue Johnson.
Research including brain scans have become an important way of measuring effectiveness of EFT. Here Sue talks about the FMRI study showing that connection with a loved one changes how we respond to threat and pain.
Hold Me Tight by Sue Johnson.
Hold Me Tight – Conversations for Connection with short DVD clip showing three couples who have completed EFT work. This supports the Conversations for Connection set of two DVD’s of Sue talking with three couples about their relationship journey with EFT.
The Power of Vulnerability by Brene Brown.
Brene is a well renowned researcher into human connection, love and belonging. She talks about and shares her own experience of shame and vulnerability.
This clip of Brene sharing her vulnerability has had over 13 million views and is well worth taking the time to watch.
