“EABT is AMAZING!! I am the group leader for a men's group and the way the men are connecting on a deep emotional level has been uplifting and inspiring. I have been in the field for 20 + years and I have not seen anything like Emotional Attachment Behavioral Therapy. Doug is great to work with.”

“I have found this curriculum to meld beautifully with individual outpatient counseling. It has been informative not just for the client in their own time, but in identifying past attachment wounds, attachment trauma, and identifying areas to do deeper work in sessions.”

“Doug Smith's EABT curriculum for adolescents was a phenomenal addition to our SEL curriculum at Harmony. Adolescents in early recovery crave meaningful connections with their peers, but often don't know how to build healthy relationships. EABT has had profound impacts on Harmony's students, allowing them to gain self-knowledge and empathy, recognize and express emotions, repair broken relationships and create new ones, and to give and receive love. This was a bright spot in our year.”

“Doug was an incredible trainer. It was the first time I enjoyed a training so much that I did not want it to end. You can tell he is passionate and knowledgeable about the topic which really draws you in along with the exercises he had for us. Doug is a trainer that others should be modeled after. Can’t wait to get more training from him.”

Wendolyn Wirtz, MS, LPC
“I have been using EABT in my private practice as a trauma therapist for several months now with amazing results. Using Doug's model, my clients have been able to identify what their unmet childhood needs are and how these unmet needs create emotional triggers that impact them today. EABT provides the framework for understanding early attachment wounds, creating healthy coping skills, and ultimately allowing the client to experience and embody secure attachment within themselves and in their relationships. EABT is a groundbreaking model that pulls many related components to healing together into a powerful modality that I will continue to use in my practice to empower and heal clients.”
