Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Trainer and couples therapy expert, George Faller, LMFT and certified sex and EFT therapist, Laurie Watson, PhD join forces to teach therapists the importance of helping their couple clients reach sexual and emotional security. Without comfort around talking about sex, therapists often avoid resolving this critical part of their couple’s lives.
