Emotionally Focused Therapy: An Evidence-Based Model for Couples

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a great option for couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection and enhance their relationship. This therapy is built on the foundation that a strong emotional bond is vital for a satisfying and healthy relationship.

EFT sessions involve working with a therapist to identify patterns of communication and behavior that may be driving a wedge between you and your partner. It's not uncommon for these patterns to involve negative interactions, where one partner might withdraw or become defensive in response to their partner's actions or feelings.

Through EFT, you and your partner will develop the ability to recognize and express your underlying emotions and needs in a way that is productive and supportive. This will involve building empathy and learning how to listen actively to each other and respond in a way that strengthens your connection and intimacy.
