In this episode, Tiffany Phillips, LMFT, founder of Restoring Hope Therapy Services, shares the step-by-step strategies she uses in her sessions with families, based on Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), an evidenced-based approach originally developed by Dr. Adele LaFrance, PhD and Dr. Joanne Dolhanty, PhD. From understanding emotional “blocks” to mastering emotion coaching, Tiffany explains how parents, partners, and loved ones can validate big emotions, apologize therapeutically, and break unhelpful communication patterns. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone you love, or a provider seeking practical tools, this episode offers emotion-focused strategies to deepen connection, repair emotional wounds, and promote lasting recovery.
