Using Attachment History to Map the Cycle & Decode the Attachment Dilemma

Join EFT Trainer Dr. Ryan Rana for this live, online 1-day training designed to deepen your clinical precision in Emotionally Focused Therapy. Through didactic teaching, case examples, and experiential exercises, participants will learn how to use a client's attachment history to uncover the "deadly attachment message" that fuels their reactivity in the cycle.

​

You’ll gain a sharper lens to identify attachment messages and alarms, decode core vulnerabilities from client's attachment histories, and track how these emotional messages play out in the present dynamics between partners. This training highlights how the Attachment Dilemma shows up in the cycle and how early experiences shape the emotional logic behind clients' moves.

​

Perfect for therapists wanting to work more deeply and accurately with stuck points, emotional regulation, and primary fears—while staying grounded in the EFT model.
