Soothing the Threatened Brain: Using attachment science to create bonding, satisfying relationships featuring Linda Curran and Sue Johnson
Dr. Sue Johnson's energetic and vibrant personality shines in this bonus interview conducted by Linda Curran, BCPC, LPC, CACD, CCDPD, where they explore about Sue's most recent, revolutionary Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) study, Soothing the Threatened Brain.

Through EFT and the basis of attachment science, this study demonstrated that 20 sessions of EFT in couples can change the security of the couple's bond. Most importantly, the brain's perception of threat significantly diminishes when there is a felt-sense of connection. This study shows that we can now effectively help couples not just understand their relationship better but create the secure loving bonds that "Soothe the Threatened Brains."
