Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)

EFT is a collaborative and structured therapy approach that helps individuals and couples break out of negative communication cycles and create a more secure and emotionally fulfilling connection with each other. The healing in EFT comes from re-establishing emotional safety, security, and intimacy through increased self-awareness and the development of improved communication and responsiveness within the relationship.

Creating a Safe Space

In EFT, the therapist creates a safe and non-judgmental environment where individuals or couples can express their emotions and vulnerabilities without fear.

Identifying Negative Patterns

EFT helps individuals and couples identify and understand negative interaction patterns that lead to emotional disconnection or conflict.

Exploring Emotions

The therapy process encourages participants to explore and express their deeper or primary emotions and needs. This helps them become more aware of their own emotional responses and their partners.

Restructuring Attachment

EFT focuses on restructuring attachment bonds. This means helping individuals or couples understand how their attachment needs drive their relationship behaviors and reactions.

Promoting Emotional Engagement

EFT assists individuals and couples in re-establishing emotional engagement with each other. This involves helping partners express and respond to each other's emotions and needs more positively and securely

Reframing Perspectives

EFT helps individuals reframe their perspectives and look for a deeper understanding of their emotional responses, which often come from a place of longing for connection and security rather than focusing on “surface-level arguments” and trying to make sense of them.

Creating New Interaction Patterns

Through guided interventions, EFT helps clients create new, healthier communication patterns that foster emotional connection and intimacy.

Consolidating Changes

As individuals and couples experience positive changes in their emotional connection and communication, the therapy process helps them consolidate these changes and maintain healthier patterns long term.
