Emotionally Focused Therapy

“The first and foremost instinct of humans is neither sex nor aggression. It is to seek contact and comforting connection.”

~ Sue Johnson, Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships

Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT is a couple therapy based on the science of attachment theory. Humans are inherently social creatures, and a successful relationship includes vulnerability. When couples come to therapy, it is usually because trust has been lost, partners feel emotionally distant, or an attachment injury has occurred. In EFT, I help couples identify their ‘negative cycle,’ dig deep to discover the underlying needs of it, and then to create new ‘cycles,’ or patterns of interaction. At the end of therapy, there is a stronger, more secure bond, emotional attunement, and a positive shift in communication.
