Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy, is a therapeutic approach primarily used in couples therapy, although it can also be applied in individual therapy. The core premise of EFT is that emotions are key to human experience and that emotional bonding, particularly in intimate relationships, is essential for emotional health and well-being. The therapy helps individuals and couples identify and process the underlying emotions that drive negative interaction patterns, with the goal of creating secure emotional bonds.
EFT has been shown to be highly effective in helping couples improve their emotional bonds, reduce relationship distress, and enhance overall relationship satisfaction. Research indicates that about 70-75% of couples show significant improvements in their relationship after completing EFT, and a majority of couples maintain these gains over time.
