Sue Johnson busted into the therapy world at a time when cognition was king and shouted, “BONDS! EMOTIONS!” She was dismissed and overlooked by the field for far too long but kept on pursuing this radical idea that emotions aren’t the problem; they’re vital messengers that shape our connections and provide an entrance to deepen our bonds with our precious ones.

Thank God she did.

I met Sue in 2013 at my first EFT Externship. I watched her capture an entire ballroom of clinicians and speak with such passion about this work. At that time, Arkansas had no EFT certified therapists or supervisors, and I was lost on how to begin. I walked up to meet her on a break, snapped a photo, and asked her how to get started in this process of becoming an EFT therapist when no official community existed around me. She was funny and endearing, fanned my flame of excitement for this model, and encouraged me to create the something from nothing I needed. She said it as if it was the simplest task, and I realized later that it’s what she’d had to do throughout most of her career.

Fast forward a couple years later, and Arkansas was hosting its first EFT events with help from generous out of state trainers and supervisors and had begun certifying therapists and supervisors out of these ground floor Arkansas EFTer’s, which I thankfully get to say I was part of. We now have an EFT Center, host regular trainings, and have cultivated a robust, solid community of clinicians. I consider this network of people a second family, one of the safest and warmest communities I’ve ever experienced, and have formed some of my dearest friends and mentors here.

What was once nothing became the most beautiful, life changing something, indeed.

I’ve long admired Sue’s grittiness and persistence, not just as a therapist and visionary of this model, but as a woman facing the unknown with strength and zeal. Imagine being a woman in a field no doubt dominated by white men fixated on cognition and trying to convince them of a therapy model founded on bonds and emotions. She pioneered a way forward for new ways of thinking and showed us it was possible for women to have a seat at the damn table and to bring our own chair if necessary.

What a legacy she leaves, and what countless ripples will form for generations after us as a result of her work.

I am forever changed from all the somethings she created from nothing.

Well done, Sue. Well done.

Exciting news!
I’ve officially joined Re:Fresh Counseling and will continue seeing clients via telehealth. I’m plain grateful to join this incredible team of people and am so looking forward to all that lies ahead.

Carrie Lucas I don’t know where you are in life right now, but if you’re searching through therapists’ websites, you might be in a tough spot. That’s where most of the people who come see me are: stuck. Stuck in a pattern of doing things they don’t want to be doing, stuck in a relationship...

I haven’t been active on my business page in quite a while. 2022 was quite a year for me personally, as I welcomed twins in December.

I am back from maternity leave and currently seeing clients via telehealth.

📸 This lovely photo was taken by Yellow Roads Photography in September of 2022 while the pregnancy glow was still around. My twins will be 6 months old next week!
