Signs you could benefit from Emotionally Focused Therapy
You know the feeling—talking in circles, getting stuck in the same arguments, and walking away more alone than when you started. For many couples, love is still there, but something’s gone sideways. That’s where Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can make all the difference.
EFT isn’t about learning to argue better or making lists of what to say. It’s about getting underneath the surface—beyond the blame, beyond the silence—and into the emotional heartbeat of your relationship. If you keep dancing the same old dance, just with louder music or longer pauses, EFT helps you recognize that pattern and rewrite it together.
Here are a few signs EFT might be a good fit for you:
You feel more like roommates than partners
One of you often pursues connection while the other pulls away
Small conflicts quickly spiral into something bigger
You feel misunderstood or emotionally distant
There’s been a rupture—like a betrayal or ongoing hurt—that hasn’t healed
EFT offers a map back to each other. It’s not about fixing one person; it’s about rediscovering the bond between you. Think of it less like putting a Band-Aid on a broken connection and more like rebuilding the foundation with care, courage, and heart.
If you're wondering whether there's hope, there is. Sometimes it just takes a new way to speak the language of love—one built on safety, softness, and showing up for each other again. You don’t need to be on the brink to benefit. Sometimes reaching out is just the next brave step toward getting back to what matters most.
