LET’S GET INTROSPECTIVE: Journal Exercise

Revisit a previous Rocky Moment when you became stuck in your own Demon Dialogue. Use the steps above and write a story of how you could have contained the momentum of your negative cycle and created a base of safety instead.

SELF-CARE DURING ROCKY MOMENTS

It is during this Conversation #3 when I usually check in with how each partner is feeling about the process thus far. It is also around this time when couples have enough of the Hold Me Tight experience under their belts that they can begin to assess how they are feeling toward one another, and especially with themselves. I typically take their temperature at this point, asking whether they feel hopeful, fruitless, or satisfied with their progress. It is with no ego, but just science to back me, that I can proudly say most of the check-ins are positive. That is the magic of EFT — the science- and research-proven approach to couples therapy. But it can’t ever hurt to check in with yourself!

The following worksheet is designed for both of you to reflect on the work done so far, assess how you’re feeling, and share your reflections with one another. Even if your answers might not seem as encouraging as you’d like, make this an opportunity to discuss them with your partner and revisit them every so often. None of this work is futile, even if that feels like your mindset right now; it can be utilized and referred to as you are both conducting important research about your needs, fears, and the bond you have together.
