    How We Help

    Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples: Strengthening Emotional Bonds

    Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a highly effective therapeutic approach designed to help couples enhance their emotional connection and resolve conflicts. Grounded in attachment theory, EFT focuses on the importance of secure emotional bonds in fostering healthy and fulfilling relationships.

    Key Benefits of EFT for Couples:

    1. Improves Communication: EFT helps couples understand and articulate their emotions, leading to more open and effective communication. By learning to express their needs and feelings, partners can avoid misunderstandings and reduce conflict.

    2. Resolves Conflicts: By identifying and addressing the underlying emotional issues and attachment needs that drive conflicts, EFT enables couples to break negative interaction patterns. This leads to more constructive and empathetic ways of dealing with disagreements.

    3. Enhances Emotional Connection: EFT focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where partners can reconnect on a deeper emotional level. This strengthened emotional bond fosters greater intimacy and trust.

    4. Builds Secure Attachments: Through EFT, couples learn to be more accessible, responsive, and engaged with each other. These qualities are essential for building and maintaining a secure and loving relationship.

    5. Fosters Long-term Relationship Satisfaction: Research has shown that EFT not only helps in resolving immediate issues but also contributes to lasting relationship satisfaction. Couples who undergo EFT often report sustained improvements in their relationships.

    EFT Process:

    1. Assessment and De-escalation: The therapist helps the couple identify negative interaction patterns and underlying emotional issues, creating awareness and reducing immediate tensions.

    2. Restructuring Interactions: Couples learn to express their deeper emotions and needs in a supportive manner. This stage focuses on fostering empathy and understanding between partners.

    3. Consolidation and Integration: The new, positive interaction patterns are reinforced, ensuring that the couple can maintain their improved relationship dynamics over time.

    Is EFT Right for You?

    EFT is suitable for couples experiencing a range of issues, including frequent arguments, emotional distance, infidelity, and more. It is an evidence-based approach with a high success rate, making it a reliable choice for couples seeking to improve their relationship.

    If you and your partner are ready to enhance your emotional connection and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship, contact us today to learn more about how EFT can help you.

    By integrating EFT into your relationship, you can experience deeper emotional bonds, better communication, and lasting happiness together.

    What our clients have to say

    My boyfriend and I started seeing Pat to work through some past traumas and how they were affecting our relationship. Very quickly, Pat helped us to identify issues within ourselves, what the relational responsibility was, and gave us tools to start working together better. She helped us start to lay a good foundation for our relationship. 8 months later, the benefits of her counseling are still showing. She was able to be compassionate on both sides while still addressing the issues. Highly recommend! 

    Jana L
