Welcome back to We Heart Therapy — your go-to channel for deep, experiential learning in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Belle, PhD, LMFT — ICEEFT Certified EFT/EFIT/EFFT Supervisor & Therapist and EFT Community Leader for Southern NV EFT — sits down with Ali Barbosa, ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer from the Mexico Center for EFT, to explore an essential question for every therapist: 👉 How do we apply EFT and EFIT to ourselves?
As therapists, we’re trained to guide others through emotional pain and attachment injuries — but what about our own? In this conversation, you’ll learn:
✨ How to walk in the EFT model in your own life
✨ Applying EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) strategies to your personal emotional experiences
✨ How to work with your own attachment system, triggers, and emotional pain
✨ Tools for self-reflection, emotional processing, and self-compassion
✨ How your personal work deepens your clinical effectiveness
✨ Why embodying EFT transforms not just your work — but your relationships
This episode is especially meaningful for EFT therapists who want to move beyond technique and into embodied practice — integrating the model into both their professional and personal lives.
Whether you're in Core Skills, working toward certification, or already certified, this conversation offers practical guidance and heartfelt insight into becoming the therapist who truly lives EFT.

Welcome to We Heart Therapy – The EFT Talk Series, where we explore the heart of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) through meaningful conversations with leaders in the field.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Senem Zeytinoğlu, ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer and Founder of the Turkey Center for EFT in Istanbul, for a rich and thoughtful discussion on Self of the Therapist (SOT) issues in EFT Supervision—and why this work is essential for ethical, effective, and emotionally present EFT practice.
Self of the Therapist work helps EFT therapists understand how their own attachment histories, emotional triggers, and nervous system responses show up in clinical work and supervision. Dr. Zeytinoğlu shares how attending to SOT deepens therapist resilience, strengthens the therapeutic alliance, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for couples and individuals.
🎙️ In This EFT Talk Episode, We Explore:
- What Self of the Therapist (SOT) means in the context of EFT supervision
- Why SOT work is essential—not optional—in EFT training and supervision
- How therapists’ attachment patterns can show up in sessions and supervision
- The role of safety, compassion, and emotional presence in supervisory relationships
- How EFT supervisors can support growth without shame or judgment
- Why SOT work supports therapist sustainability and prevents burnout
This episode is especially valuable for EFT therapists, supervisors, trainers, and therapists who want to deepen their work, increase self-awareness, and practice EFT with greater clarity and confidence.
