What It's Good For
EFT is particularly effective for couples experiencing disconnection, frequent conflicts, emotional distance, or difficulties with trust and intimacy. It's also helpful for relationships affected by past traumas or insecurities. EFT has been found to be beneficial not only for heterosexual couples but also for same-sex couples.
In summary, Emotionally Focused Therapy is about helping couples understand the deeper emotions that lie beneath their conflicts, improving emotional responsiveness, and strengthening the relationship's bond. It's an approach that moves beyond mere problem-solving to foster a deeper, more emotional understanding between partners, creating a stronger, more secure relationship.
