Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a proven effective treatment for distressed couples and families.
EFT for Couples is one of the few therapies that helps couples; get back to their loving feelings; be connected; be secure and happy in their relationship.
If you are part of a couple that gets caught in the same old argument over and over or if you feel distant from your partner, EFT can help. It is a model that gets right to the heart of the matter.
EFT helps couples by working to strengthen attachment bonds. Having strong attachment bonds means couples: feel safe together, know they are most important to their partner, are more flexible in problem solving, communicate, and feel securely connected. The same old fight is finally resolved. The walls that kept you away from each other crumble away and the feelings that brought you together in the beginning revive and grow.
EFT research has been published in professional journals proving its effectiveness. As a model of therapy, it is respected widely in the field as is the therapy co-originator, award winning psychologist, Dr. Susan Johnson. Dr. Johnson developed EFT with Dr. Les Greenberg in the 1980's. Over the past 30 years many research studies have proven EFT works!
With a trained and certified EFT Therapist, unlike most couples treatment, you won’t need to be in counseling for years. EFT is a short term model! In EFT research studies, most couples (over 70%) turned their relationship around (from distressed – no matter how distressed – to happy) in 15 – 20 sessions and over 90% of couples “significantly improved”.
With EFT, your relationship can continue to grow and bring you happiness long after therapy has stopped.
If you’d like to increase your closeness, improve communication, stop fighting or renew the spark of early courtship, then EFT can work for you!
