During this Lunch and Learn, Ruth Jampol, Ph.D., Certified EFCT Supervisor, and Jill Knerr, LMFT will explain how the therapist’s focus, pacing, and interventions change in Stage 2. Through teaching, video presentation, and group participation, participants will learn:

- how to identify markers of readiness for Stage 2;
- how therapist interventions change in Stage 2; and
- how Stage 2 interventions allow a deeper exploration of each partner’s vulnerabilities, attachment longings, and fears.

EFIT is transforming lives; helping individual clients move beyond insight into real, embodied change.

If you're already fluent in EFCT, EFIT is like stepping into a new room in a familiar home. The same attachment lens, emotion-as-agent-of-change focus, and powerful corrective experiences are all there, now directed inward, to reshape the client's internal world.

What that looks like in practice:

- Mapping the inner dance (self-criticism ↔ shame, protector parts ↔ vulnerable parts, freeze ↔ reach) with the same clarity we bring to couples’ pursue/withdraw cycles.

- - Slowing down and heightening emotion so clients can feel what’s underneath the content—and make new moves.

- Using enactments both inward (“Can you turn toward that overwhelmed part and say…”) and outward (“Imagine saying this to your sister/boss/self in the mirror”).

- Restructuring self-to-self and self-to-other positions so clients leave with a sturdier, more secure internal working model.
EFIT shines with:

- Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma echoes, perfectionism, burnout, loneliness

- Clients who “know their patterns” but still feel stuck

Therapists wanting more depth without advice-giving or content overload

What changes for clients:

- Less shame, more self-compassion

- Clearer needs and boundaries

- Greater nervous system flexibility and emotional regulation

- A felt sense of: “I’m not broken. I’m human—and I can reach.”
