    Episode 1: From Heartbreak to Healing: How One Bad Relationship Launched a Couples Therapy Career

    Welcome to our first podcast episode recorded on February 4th, 2026. Rejoe Mohan, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), and Employee Psychotherapist at No Fear Counselling, is the interviewer. Ofir Vaisman, RCC, CCC, and Clinical Director of No Fear Counselling is the guest. Ofir is an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. Ofir shares his personal story: A turbulent, abusive on-and-off relationship in 2005–2006 left him motivated to help others in relational pain. This propelled him to rapidly finish undergrad (in ~2.5 years, strategically choosing low-workload philosophy courses) and pursue a master's at Adler University, where he discovered EFT during a couples counseling course. His first practicum client was a couple (by chance), and with limited supervisor support in couples work, he immersed himself in Sue Johnson's EFT manual. He contrasts EFT (attachment-based, focusing on underlying emotions and "heart" level connection) with simpler mediation-style approaches that stay superficial. He explains why he gravitated to the challenging specialty of couples therapy—he's never taken the easy route—and discusses key EFT concepts like creating corrective emotional experiences through small, safe steps to rebuild safety and attachment (vs. reactivating old traumas). The conversation covers distinctions between Emotionally Focused Therapy (Sue Johnson, couples-focused) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (Les Greenberg), touches on Ofir's "go big or go home" personality, and highlights the power of vulnerability and emotional signaling in relationships. It's an inspiring, insightful intro to the therapist's journey and EFT principles. The episode ends by teasing a deeper background dive in the next one.

    Episode 2: From 1,000 Couples to Secure Love: The Magic of Emotionally Focused Therapy

    Welcome back to episode 2 recorded on March 19th and April 22, 2026. Hosted by Rejoe Mohan, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), and Psychotherapist at @nofearcounselling8677. Ofir Vaisman, RCC, CCC, Founder, and Clinical Director of No Fear Counselling is the guest. Ofir is an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist that has worked with over 1000 couples since 2012. This episode explores timely questions around technology and human connection. Ofir discusses how AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly used by clients — especially teenagers — as emotional support between sessions or even as substitutes for therapy. He weighs the pros and cons, viewing AI as a powerful supplement or adjunct tool rather than a full replacement for real human therapy or relationships. Drawing thoughtful parallels to calculators, video games, virtual worlds like Second Life, and other coping mechanisms, Ofir emphasizes that the core issue isn’t the technology itself but underlying pain, trauma, and escapism. He addresses concerns about AI replacing human relationships (including lifelike dolls/robots), celebrity breakups and attachment patterns in the entertainment industry, and why some people lean on escapes instead of confronting interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges. Balanced, insightful, and forward-looking, this episode offers a therapist’s grounded perspective on AI’s growing role in emotional processing and what it means for human connection in the modern age. Perfect for anyone curious about technology, mental health, and relationships. Please like if you got any value, and comment on what you would like to hear on the next one.
