This week, we hosted our international guest, Mr. James McCracken, Certified EFT therapist and supervisor in our community. Mr. McCracken defined advanced diagnosis of ruptures in therapeutic alliance and discussed the three main components of therapeutic alliance as authenticity, acceptance and attunement. He also spoke about the importance of attachment system and active monitoring of ruptures to therapeutic alliance. Drawing on his vast experiences in EFT couple therapy, he also gave meaningful examples of ruptures in therapeutic alliance in working with pursuers and withdrawers, touching on how to identify signs of therapeutic alliance rupture and its potential causes and how to heal them, using effective strategies in reconstructing and enhancing therapeutic alliance in clinical practice. Providing real examples drawing from his clinical practice, Mr. McCracken generously shared his knowledge and clinical wisdom with our community and responded to participants questions in the end.
