Can you de-escalate the cycle—but still get stuck in Stage 2?

On Friday, September 18, 9 am - 12:15 pm, please join the Houston EFT Community when we welcome Dr. Ting Liu, ICEEFT Certified Trainer, for an advanced EFCT workshop: Stage 2 Antidote Events: Seeding Attachment and Choreographing Enactments.

This workshop will help therapists sharpen their ability to:
- Identify the attachment needs that can shift rigid cycles
- Seed attachment language so implicit longings become more accessible
- Shape enactments that move partners from talking about distress to speaking directly from vulnerability

More and more therapists are working with clients in consensual non-monogamous, polyamorous, and multiple partner relationships.

But many of us received little formal training in how to conceptualize this work through an attachment lens.

Hard conversations are inevitable in therapy—fees, cancellations, rupture repair, boundaries, referral conversations, and the moments when a client can’t comfortably say “no.”

Courageous Conversations is a 3-hour, in-person ethics workshop that blends attachment theory + clinical ethics so you can approach high-stakes moments with more steadiness, clarity, and trust.

📍 The Council on Recovery (Houston)

🧭 Workshop: 9:30–12:30
