Trained at Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy , I help couples to make a safer and stronger bond .Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) is a structured approach to couples therapy that focuses on creating secure emotional bonds between partners. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT is based on the understanding that emotional connection is fundamental to relationship satisfaction. The therapy emphasizes the identification and expression of underlying emotions, helping partners understand each other’s emotional needs and responses. By fostering an environment of empathy and validation, EFT aims to transform negative interaction patterns into positive, supportive exchanges, thereby enhancing the emotional intimacy and trust within the relationship.
The process of EFT involves several stages, beginning with the assessment of the couple’s interaction patterns and the identification of core emotional issues. The therapist then guides the couple through the de-escalation of negative cycles and the creation of new, healthier patterns of interaction. Partners learn to express their vulnerabilities and needs in ways that promote connection rather than conflict. The final stage of EFT focuses on consolidating these changes and reinforcing the new, positive ways of relating to each other. Research has shown that EFT is highly effective in reducing relationship distress and promoting long-term relationship satisfaction, making it a valuable approach for couples seeking to deepen their emotional connection and resolve conflicts.
