What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

Emotionally Focused Therapy is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the emotional bonds and attachment dynamics within relationships. It aims to help individuals and couples create secure and lasting connections, resolve conflicts, and foster deeper emotional intimacy. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT draws on attachment theory and explores the power of emotions in shaping our experiences and relationships.

How Does Emotionally Focused Therapy Work?

Emotionally Focused Therapy is grounded in the understanding that humans have an innate need for emotional connection and secure attachment. The therapy process involves helping individuals and couples identify and understand the underlying emotions and attachment needs that drive their behaviors and relationship patterns.

Therapists trained in EFT create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, express vulnerabilities, and develop a deeper understanding of their own needs and the needs of their partner. Through guided conversations, therapists help clients recognize and reshape negative interaction cycles that lead to distress and disconnection.

The therapy focuses on restructuring these interaction patterns and fostering more secure attachment bonds. By promoting open communication, empathy, and emotional responsiveness, EFT helps couples develop greater intimacy, trust, and satisfaction in their relationships. It also supports individuals in understanding and managing their own emotional experiences more effectively.

Who Can Benefit from Emotionally Focused Therapy?

Emotionally Focused Therapy can benefit individuals and couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties, conflicts, or a sense of disconnection. It is particularly effective for those facing issues such as marital distress, communication problems, trust issues, infidelity, and emotional disconnection.

EFT is suitable for couples in various stages of their relationship, including premarital couples seeking to build a strong foundation, couples facing challenges in their partnership, and couples in the process of rebuilding trust after a breach. It is also valuable for individuals who want to explore and understand their own emotional experiences within relationships.
