Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is a type of therapy that focuses on helping couples and individuals to better understand and express their emotions, and to create more secure emotional bonds with others. This approach to therapy has its roots in humanistic psychology, which emphasizes the unique experiences and subjective perspectives of each individual.
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a type of therapy that focuses on helping people develop more secure and intimate bonds with their loved ones, and it has an excellent track record. The culmination of research studies finds that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements through EFT.

EFT was developed to help couples and individuals develop more secure and intimate bonds with each other. This can lead to greater trust and intimacy in relationships, which can help foster greater connection and commitment between partners. One of the key benefits of EFT is that it helps people understand and express their emotions and needs in relationship-enhancing ways.  Another benefit of EFT is that it can help improve communication in relationships.  

Overall, EFT can be a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their relationships and develop more secure and fulfilling connections with their loved ones.

In addition to its humanistic and attachment-based roots, EFT also incorporates elements of systemic therapy, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of individuals within their social and familial contexts. This means that in EFT, therapists work with individuals to help them understand the impact of their relationships on their emotional well-being, and vice versa.

As an experiential therapy, EFT focuses on helping individuals to process and make sense of their emotions through direct, in-the-moment experience. This means that EFT often involves experiential exercises and techniques that help individuals to connect with their emotions and to better understand how these emotions are influencing their thoughts and behaviors.
Overall, EFT has been shown to be a highly effective form of therapy for a wide range of emotional and relationship difficulties. Some of the key benefits of EFT include improved emotional regulation and expression, increased intimacy and connection in relationships, and increased emotional resilience and stability.
