We are delighted to share some important news – in the April issue of the global ICEEFT newsletter (69th ISSUE April 2026), the first substantive article authored by someone from Poland has been published 🇵🇱. The author of the publication is Barbara Sławik, who works as a certified EFT psychotherapist and supervisor, and has been actively supporting the development of the Polish EFT community from the very beginning 💙
Her article addresses a highly important and at the same time complex topic: working with secrets and unexpected disclosures in couple therapy. This is an area that raises many questions and uncertainties among clinicians – both at the ethical and practical levels. The article presents an attachment-based perspective, taking into account the diversity of cultural, legal, and ethical contexts in which therapists work around the world 🌐 It does not propose a single “right” solution, but rather invites reflection on the complexity of therapeutic decision-making 🧠 and shows how these decisions can be grounded within the EFT framework – with attention to safety, relationship, and context 🤝
As Jackie Evans from the Canadian editorial team highlights: “Until now, the ICEEFT newsletter has included only two short articles about the development of the Polish EFT community, published as part of the regular section News / Updates from ICEEFT-affiliated Centres & Communities – including one from early 2022, also authored by Barbara Sławik. This newest publication is the first full-length substantive EFT article from Poland in the global ICEEFT newsletter ✨📘, and – importantly – the first one prepared and made available globally also in Polish 🇵🇱📄.” This makes the article more accessible and useful for our local community of therapists learning and practicing EFT 👥
This is an important step – the presence of a Polish voice in the international EFT community and a contribution to the development of clinical reflection 🌱🌍 We hope this is just the beginning – and that more articles from Poland, also available in Polish, will appear more and more often 🇵🇱📄🙂 We are happy to see our community becoming increasingly visible worldwide 💙
