77. The Stuck Series: ”Toxic Story” Refined Cultural Tension-The New Acronym DEBSS

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy with Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC, ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. Thank you for listening. We hope this experience helps you push the leading edge in your work to help people connect with themselves and each other.

In this episode, we take time to clarify what or when "story" is problematic in the couple's work. We share some clear points to delineate when the story is helpful and when it is not as beneficial. Ultimately, as the clinician, you must determine when the story is helping them repair their bond and when it is pulling away from repair work.
