One of the most common relational patterns is the Pursuer-Withdrawer pattern. Pursuers often initiate discussions, want to talk things out right away, and move closer toward their partner to connect, whereas Withdrawers often shut down or get silent… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/q2fmup/Working_with_Withdrawers_in_Emotionally_Focused_Therapy_Part_2_Featuring_EFT_Trainer_Dr_Sam_Jinich6k7rz.mp3) ## [EP 77: Using EFT Emotionally Focused Therapy with Individuals - Featuring Dr. Sue Johnson - Pioneer of EFT](https://wehearttherapy.podbean.com/e/ep-77-using-eft-emotionally-focused-therapy-with-individuals-featuring-dr-sue-johnson-pioneer-of-eft/) _2023-01-01_ Emotionally Focused Therapy currently holds the APA Gold Standard of couples counseling because of its rigorous research and outcome studies on the efficacy of the model and its interventions.
