• Accessing and deepening vulnerable emotions that are at first hidden, unspoken, unknown or masked by reactive and protective emotions is one of the most powerful skills of an emotionally focused couples therapist.

• Emotionally focused therapists facilitate emotionally moving enactments by guid- ing avoidant partners to turn to their partner and to share with them about their pain, sadness and fears.

• They guide critical or blaming partners to turn to their partners to more gently speak about their loneliness and their longing for closeness.

• There is nothing like facilitating and witnessing a heartfelt bonding moment in action.
