The Cantonese EFT Community is saddened by the crisis resulting from the fire in Hong Kong.  We send our deepest condolence to those who have lost loved ones, possessions and their homes.  We wish to support those affected and their professional and non-professional helpers by providing practical resources for coping with trauma in the form of a set of bookmarks representing our nervous system’s safety, fight-flight and freeze states with signs and coping strategies for each state.

For professional helpers including social workers, physicians, nurses, therapists, counsellors and pastors who are supporting people through this traumatic loss, we extend our support by offering our previously recorded EFT Case Conference for free viewing.  Once you registered through the link at www.reconnecteft.com, you will be able to access the training through reconnect.thinkific.com

During this time marked by shock, horror, pain, anger and triggering of past trauma, Emotionally Focused Therapy reminds us to stay close and be present with each other.  It is through these attachment bonds that we can feel safe, seen, soothed and secure amidst this crisis.  It is in each other’s arms that we will find peace, comfort, compassion, strength and hope.

We have planned a free special workshop on using EFT to cope with traumatic loss on Dec 20, 2025, 9:30-11:30 am HK time.  Please download the flyer and register using the links or QR code below.

Reconnect with EFT provides practical training resources for Chinese-speaking professional helpers to learn and practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), especially in Cantonese.

​

EFT is a potent, evidence-based approach that focuses on attachment and systems, aiming to create a secure connection and enhance one's sense of self in each session.
