The Overlooked Attachment System: Why Sex Matters in Therapy

As therapists, we know attachment issues can cause a variety of problems in romantic relationships.
But there’s one part of attachment that (perhaps surprisingly) many therapists shy away from talking about . . .
It’s sex.
Maybe this is because, even though most of us are well-versed on the importance of emotional attachment, we rarely consider the impact of the sexual attachment system.
And here’s the thing – overlooking sexual attachment means you might be missing a critical part of how your client connects (or doesn’t connect) with their partner.
That’s why we put together this brand-new workshop on . . .
Sex and the Bonds of Attachment: An EFT Approach
In this workshop, George Faller, LMFT will share how Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help you work with the third (and least talked about) of the three key attachment systems of romantic love: the sexual attachment system.
Here’s what he’ll get into:
- A 3-stage EFT map to understand and work with a client’s sexual attachment system
- How to bring up sex and four assessment questions to ask about it
- How to help clients balance their longings and fears about sex
- 8 major components of optimal, healthy sex (and 2 minor ones)
- How to identify emotional and sexual “pursuer and withdrawer” behaviors (and why it matters)
- The “CPR” approach to handling blocks when talking about sex in a session

Why the Transcript Is Essential:
- The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
- We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
- Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
- Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
- You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
