Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples is all about helping partners reconnect and understand each other on a deeper emotional level. The idea is that when couples get stuck in negative patterns—like constant arguments, shutting down, or feeling distant—it’s usually because they’re not feeling emotionally safe or understood. EFT helps couples uncover the deeper emotions driving those patterns, like fear of rejection or feeling unimportant, and teaches them how to express those feelings in a way that brings them closer, instead of pushing each other away.

In EFT therapy sessions, the therapist helps guide couples through conversations where they can better recognize and share their needs, leading to a stronger emotional bond. Over time, couples learn to break those old, painful cycles and create new, healthier ways of interacting that lead to greater trust, intimacy, and connection. It's a powerful, evidence-based approach that has been proven to help couples heal and thrive, no matter what they’re going through.
