Role-Specific Process
The tool applies when pursuing, protesting, or escalating is the clinically relevant response for the process instance.
Pursuer Softening Process Support
Pursuer Softening Process is a live-session EFCT change-event support tool for practitioners working with a partner whose attachment threat response appears as pursuit, protest, criticism, demand, or escalation. It helps the practitioner track movement toward explicit primary attachment fear or need, softer vulnerable expression, and an opportunity for the receiving partner to respond.

Partial Process Records
If primary fear or softened expression does not emerge, the record remains incomplete at the actual state reached.
Important Limits
The product does not determine readiness, classify partner traits, score vulnerability, provide fixed scripts, or broaden into generic conflict de-escalation.
Does the tool decide whether a couple is ready for pursuer softening?
No. Readiness is a practitioner judgment and is not determined automatically by the product.
What if softened expression does not happen?
The record shows the furthest state reached and does not force or infer softened expression.
Does the tool label a partner permanently as a pursuer?
No. Role selection is specific to the process instance and does not become a fixed trait label.
Are exact pursuer softening prompts included?
No. Exact prompts and steps are unresolved, so the demo uses only supported process-state structure.
