Honoring EFT Founder, Dr. Sue Johnson
December 19, 1947 - April 23, 2024
With sadness, we share that Dr. Sue Johnson, founder of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, died April 23, 2024, after living with cancer for three years. If you’ve been to a Hold Me Tight® workshop, or read the book, you are among the countless couples, individuals, and families worldwide who have been impacted by Sue’s life and work.
In addition to her legacy of therapy and research, we hope Sue is remembered as an amazing partner, incredible “mum,” cherished friend, person of warmth and wisdom, gardener, feminist, tango dancer, lover of nature, and student of history.
