Ep 5 - How to Begin Assessment Session 4: What To Say and How To Say It

(Ep 2 of a 3 episode series)

Do you ever get stuck on how to begin your sessions? Do you find that just saying “How are you?” leads to a lack focus and wastes precious time? Do you struggle to find the words to describe the work ahead? If so, this series of three episodes of The NYCEFT Podcast is for you! Listen in as Wendy Tomkiel, experienced EFT therapist and supervisor, and founding member of NYCEFT shares her expertise and wisdom on how to open the first session, the individual sessions, the fourth assessment session, ongoing Stage 1 sessions vs Stage II sessions, and how to begin sessions with couples with different cycles, e.g. attack/attack, withdraw/withdraw. Each episode with Jeff and Wendy is packed with specific tips and languaging that you can use right away with your couples. 

In this episode (Ep 2 of the three part series) Wendy first outlines her approach to opening the fourth session in the assessment process with a focus on highlighting strengths of the couple, acknowledging each partner’s courage to risk vulnerability, and outlining the feedback she’ll be providing so couples can know what to expect. Jeff and Wendy then discuss how to provide feedback to escalated couples who do not have mutually agreed upon goals vs less reactive couples who are more aligned on the outcome they're hoping for. Wendy also discusses the pitfalls of opening sessions with too general a question like, “How are you?” and offers specific alternatives that are more structured and directive.

NYCEFT Action Plan and Statement on Racism, Diversity, and Equity

NYCEFT’s mission is to be a community where all feel welcomed and at home. We recognize the necessary systemic and individual changes that need to take place in order for our organization to embody the qualities of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, mental/physical ability, and socio-economic status. We believe that these changes will make us all better human beings, therapists, and colleagues and contribute to our long overdue collective healing.

Free  E.F.T.  For  Veterans  &  THeir  Families


NYCEFT Volunteer Therapists are providing free, unlimited, and confidential Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy – (EFT) for military service members who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and their loved ones. This is an outstanding service that we want to make sure is available to our veterans in their time of greatest need.  Many armed service members and their families have a need for such help but struggle to find a good therapist, affordable therapy , or even asking for help at all.

Help us reach these people, give them the help they deserve, and get our service people all the way back home safe.

Therapy is provided by fully-licensed psychotherapists in their state of practice. We have EFT couple therapists in the Greater New York area volunteering in providing their professional expertise for this deserving population. All therapists are independent licensed professionals and are not employed by NYCEFT.
