What is EFT?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a researched-based, short-term
(8–20 sessions) therapeutic approach to working with couples and
families. Using this approach, people learn to be secure, resilient and
successful in their relationships. EFT helps people enhance their loving
connections, increases relationship satisfaction, enhances open
communication and empathic responses toward one other and decreases
conflict in the relationship.
EFT helps individuals, couples, and families explore and experience their
own internal factors (their emotions, perceptions, and physical
sensations) within these negative interactional patterns. Individuals begin
to understand how their and the other people’s behaviours are driven by
these internal factors and motivate the continuation of negative
relationship patterns. Individuals then learn to transform and manage their
emotions and express them to their partners in a way that will allow their
partner to hear and understand them.
