Summary:

"On the heels of a promising session sex therapy session, Mark and Julie meet with Hickey and Barnett. They hope to address the emotional aspects of their relationship, long neglected due to Julie's history of physical pain, OCD and addiction. Now that she is sober, Mark is finally expressing long-buried feelings of neglect and anger. The couple is now trying to mend and rebuild their frayed and fragile tie by focusing on their respective attachment issues. Couples like Mark and Julie who lack a template of emotional fluency have difficulty accessing and expressing painful and vulnerable emotions within themselves and between one another. And in the absence of secure attachments and a sense of safety in their relationship, partners will turn to secondary coping strategies such as substance abuse and dependence. Instead of couples 'having patterns,' the patterns 'have the couples,' and they grow angry, hurt and disconnected. Barnett and Hickey's use of the EFT technique of enactment (having couples speak directly to each other) and their view of addiction as an 'action tendency' rather than as a symptom, helps them sow the seeds of attachment with Mark and Julie. The couple then begins on their path to re-connection. Watching and learning from these master clinicians will be a boon to your clinical practice with couples facing seemingly insurmountable relationship challenges"-- Supplied by publisher
