What problem does it solve?
This skill helps you stop recurring relationship conflict by reframing arguments through EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy): identifying attachment-driven cycles, uncovering raw emotional triggers, and guiding the steps toward reconnection.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Demon Dialogue cycle identification: Detects patterns like Find the Bad Guy, Protest Polka (pursue–withdraw), and Freeze/Flee to shift from blame to cycle awareness.
- Attachment-trigger (Raw Spots) mapping: Surfaces the underlying attachment anxieties behind specific fights so you can address the real need, not only the event.
- EFT repair structure (A.R.E. + 7 Conversations): Assesses Accessible/Responsive/Engaged and recommends an appropriate repair path, including the EFT 7 Conversations for relationship repair planning.
Use cases: frequent arguing, feeling stuck in chase/avoid dynamics, wanting a guided approach to “how do we repair after conflict?”, and deciding whether self-help versus finding an ICEEFT-certified EFT therapist is more appropriate.
Quick Start
Use the skill to plan an EFT-based repair conversation by asking: “Using Sue Johnson’s EFT framework, identify our likely Demon Dialogue cycle, the Raw Spots triggering it, and the A.R.E. area most missing, then propose next steps for repair.”
