"This volume offers the reader a simple but rich perspective on
just how potent the art of consistent empathic responding can be in
the lives of therapy clients – indeed in all our lives."Dr Sue
Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a
Lifetime of Love"Bugatti’s courageous voice speaks to the heart of
emotionally focused therapy. She illustrates how the power of
empathic responsiveness and attachment theory depathologizes
diagnostic labels and paves a clear path towards engaging with
persons in distress rather than seeing them as problems to be
treated. Her portrayal of relentless empathy is a window that opens
beyond static labels of mental illness, addictions, anger
reactions, and collegial conflicts into the core of human goodness
and needs for connection where lasting change is created. She
beautifully shares personal and clinical examples that embody the
healing impact of Carl Rogers’ triad of empathic understanding,
unconditional positive regard, and therapist genuineness. Bugatti
has succeeded in her goal to create a brief resource of helpful
nuggets that can help therapists of all persuasions to open their
hearts to have nonjudgmental understanding for their most
challenging clinical encounters."Lorrie Brubacher, ICEEFT Certified
Trainer, author of Stepping into Emotionally Focused Couple
Therapy: Key Ingredients of Change (Routledge, 2018) and EFT
training videos at https://www.attachmentinjuryrepair.com and
https://steppingintoeft.com/"So refreshing to find a book with
practical tools to empower therapists to use their gifts of empathy
to connect and transform lives, both personally and with the most
difficult of clients." George Faller, ICEEFT Certified Trainer,
author of Sacred Stress A Radically Different Approach to Using
Life's Challenges for Positive Change "Anabelle Bugatti offers
clinicians across the globe a challenge to take a deeper look, to
take a more empathic look, at each and every client we meet. And it
doesn't stop there. This book helps us broaden our empathic gaze in
all human interactions, which is very timely at this point in human
history." Jennifer Fitzgerald, PhD, ICEEFT Certified Trainer,
Co-Director Australian Centre for EFT, co-author of An Emotionally
Focused Workbook for Couples: The Two of Us"With laser-like focus,
Dr. Bugatti lays out how relentless empathy propels therapy forward
with even the most difficult cases, and conversely how a lack of
empathy blocks progress in therapy. Well worth the read!" Scott R.
