Well here we go …. It’s so relieving to see this systemic view is finally come
Forward. And please if you believe is this … think about supporting the two Renova San Diego fundraisers in direct support of scholarships for life saving mental health and community sports in service of prevention of death by su***de. Even one forward or a text to a friend of these two events will give a chance for these families to access services. ,

When someone is experiencing a crisis, having help readily available can make all the difference.

APA is greatly encouraged by a recent study linking the launch of the 988 crisis line with a decline in su***des among young adults. See more from a recent The New York Times article: https://at.apa.org/da210f

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988 for free and confidential support from trained counselors all day, every day.

Three clinicians. One training. All three would take it again.

That's what attendees are saying about Broken Bonds — the advanced EFT training for clinicians working with couples in the aftermath of betrayal.

Whether it's your first time or your second, the clinical depth, the live consultation, and the practical tools for helping couples build both a shared story and a felt sense of safety make this one worth coming back to.
This spring, Broken Bonds comes to two cities:

Los Angeles
📍 La Crescenta Women's Club · La Crescenta, CA
📅 April 23–24, 2026 · 9:00am–5:00pm
🎓 12 CE Credits (APA-approved through EFTCLA)
🔗 eftcla.org/products/p/broken-bonds-2026

Minneapolis
📍 Wyndham Bloomington – Mall of America · Bloomington, MN
📅 April 30–May 1, 2026 · 9:00am–4:30pm
🎓 12 CEUs (MN Board of MFT · incl. 1 Cultural & 1 Ethics CEU)

"Just being able to hear it again, ask questions again, and listen to it again helps you really conceptualize."

Betrayal work isn't something you learn once and master. The nuances are too many. The dynamics too layered. This attendee said it best — the value isn't just in the content, it's in returning to it, sitting with it, and letting it land more deeply each time.

That's exactly why we built Broken Bonds the way we did — with space for discussion, live consultation, and real clinical material you can return to.

Two cities this spring:

Los Angeles
📍 La Crescenta Women's Club · La Crescenta, CA
📅 April 23–24, 2026 · 9:00am–5:00pm
🎓 12 CE Credits (APA-approved through EFTCLA)

"Not only would I take it again — I actually am currently taking it for the second time."

When the material is this rich, once isn't always enough. This attendee came back for a second round of Broken Bonds specifically to move from intellectual understanding to an embodied sense of the work — and they'd do it a third time if it were offered.

The tactical, practical tools for helping couples in crisis build both a cohesive narrative AND a felt sense of safety? That's what keeps people coming back.

If you're ready to go deeper into betrayal work, there are two opportunities this spring:

The most dangerous thing isn't being alone. It's thinking you're safe when you're not.

That's neuroscientist James Coan describing what his lab calls the Iago Principle. The moment he said it, I felt it land in my chest as a clinician.

It reframes everything about why betrayal hits the way it does. Our clients didn't just lose a partner. They yielded - fully, completely - and got destroyed for it. That's a different kind of wound.

Jim is bringing this to EFT Triage 2026 in Las Vegas this July, and I can't overstate how much I think this science is going to change how you see your most distressed couples.

"My biggest takeaway was how important it is to get the couple to have a coherent story — a shared truth — before we could move forward with vulnerability."

That's Autumn McCain, founder of Healing Through Connection in Fairfax, VA, reflecting on Broken Bonds.
If you work with couples navigating betrayal, you know how easy it is to move too fast — toward safety, toward repair — before the story has been told and shared. This training slows that down in the best possible way.

When couples learn to reach from a place of vulnerability (and actually find each other there), something changes.

That’s the heart of EFT for couples.
