Episode 183: EFT: Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples

In this episode Jackie talks about the EFT as a therapy modality when working with couples.  EFT is all about healing attachment wounds and experiencing relationships in a positive, inviting and safe way.  What happens when couples get stuck in conflict?  What happens when communication doesn't lead to connection? Often it is old patterns of interacting and the negative messages that come with those patterns that are getting in the way of connection.  

Episode 182: Partner vs Power

In this episode, Jackie talks about power dynamics that affect us in our daily lives and pit us against each other instead of with each other.  Recent events from last week brought the patriarchal structure of the United States and our representatives front and center.  It's not uncommon for change to inspire change.  As we have felt the uncertainty of a global epidemic, the issue of racism made it's way to center stage and is now followed by sexism.  We are in need of a change.  I see individuals and couples work towards and make these changes every day.  Will this change raise from the micro level to the macro?  I hope so! 

Episode 181: The Times They Are A Changing
