The more positive variables you have from the first list, the more you can go down the vulnerability ladder with your clients, the second list. You build safety in list one to take more risks on list 2 to push your clients’ leading edge and help them succeed in vulnerability.  List 1 – Risk Assessment: Variables to Consider Variables to consider when determining the level of Risk you go for. The more of these variables you have, the more Risk you can go for. Alliance with the therapist (trust). Alliance with the EFT process (trust). The number of sessions. The number of successful missions (Corrective Emotional Experiences, Bonding Events). Tolerance window of the person you are working with and prepping to share. Their safety level with their partner. Tolerance window of the listening partner.  List 2 – Elements of Experience Risk Ladder This is just our way to describe the various elements of experience. The further you go down this ladder, the riskier it is. Going up the ladder is slicing it thinner. Protective Behaviors Secondary Emotion (Emotion that is used to create space vs. create connection) Story Construction About Distressed Relationship (Meaning) What They Think (What they say it means about them, others, the relationship) Recognition of Danger Cues/Triggers Primary Emotion (Emotion that is used to create connection vs. create space) Hang Out and Stay in Primary Emotion Individual Trauma Attachment Injuries Vulnerable View of Self Attachment Needs – When they are in distress
