Shame doesn’t just settle in the pit of the stomach — it lives in the relational processes between people, and between individuals and the societies they belong to. As therapists, we often encounter shame in and around the people we work with, yet it remains one of the most difficult emotions to engage.
Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), this workshop explores shame as an interpersonal and emotional process, deeply rooted in attachment. We’ll use the core question “Do I belong?” as a lens to understand shame and its impact on therapeutic progress.
We will explore why shame often leads to therapeutic impasses and how we can respond to it more effectively within EFT.

Jef Slootmaeckers is a licensed family therapist (Belgium), certified EFT therapist, EFT supervisor, and EFT trainer (ICEEFT), as well as the leader of the EFT community in Belgium.
Jeff specializes in working with intimate partner violence within the EFT framework. His professional journey began in a shelter for women and children. Later, he spent more than ten years working as a couples therapist in a specialized center for individuals affected by relationship violence. Currently, he runs a private EFT practice and provides supervision.
Passionate about working with trauma, shame, and aggression, Jeff continuously seeks ways to integrate all three EFT modalities to help wounded individuals, couples, and families strive for a safer emotional connection. Together with Lieven Migerode, Jeff has co-authored two books and several articles on working with intimate partner violence within EFT.

Over four sessions, we will explore questions like:
- What is the difference between healthy and toxic shame?
2. How can we understand shame through an attachment lens?
3. What does shame need in Stage 1 of EFT?
4. How can we organize shame in our EFT work?
5. How can we help free the Self from destructive shame?
6. What does Stage 2 look like when working with shame?
7. How is the blockage in giving or receiving empathy often linked to shame?
8. We will explore how shame shows up in EFCT, EFIT, and EFFT — that is, in working with couples, individuals, and families. Alongside theoretical insights, we will use experiential exercises and clinical video material to illustrate how we can work with shame in practice.
Over the past years, Jef has focused deeply on understanding shame within the EFT framework, and I’ve taught on this topic in the U.S., Italy, and during the first EFT Belgium conference, as well as the EFT World Summit.
