EMOTIONALLY-FOCUSED THERAPY

What is Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and how does it work?

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is an approach to couples and individual therapy that focuses on the importance of emotions in relationships. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson in the 1980s, EFT is rooted in the understanding that emotional connections and attachment are fundamental to human relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is based on the belief that relationship distress often stems from unmet attachment needs and emotional disconnection. This therapy approach helps individuals and couples explore and understand the underlying emotions that drive their behaviors and relationship dynamics.

Through EFT, individuals learn to identify and express their emotions effectively, while couples develop new ways of interacting and responding to each other's emotional needs. EFT provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals and couples to explore vulnerable emotions and create secure attachment bonds.
