Results suggest that EFT altered the brain's representation of threat cues in the presence of a romantic partner. These findings provide a critical window into the regulatory mechanisms of close relationships in general and EFT in particular. www.zellepay.com"Hold Me Tight®" was developed by Dr. Sue Johnson and is a registered trademark to Sue Johnson. |
