Attachment science and 35 years of research on EFT offers the therapist a map to the structure of emotion, our deepest needs and fears, the components of health and resilience and the nature of relationships as a resource for healing. This map allows the EFIT therapist to be attuned, focused and on target, moving clients into a secure connection with themselves and others and a new way of connecting with their vulnerability that leaves them confident and competent to deal with the echoes of trauma.
