Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Reconnecting Through Emotion
When it feels like you and your partner are stuck in the same loop, or you’re caught in emotional patterns you don’t fully understand: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a path forward.
EFT is a structured, evidence-based approach developed by Dr. Sue Johnson. It helps individuals and couples identify the emotional needs at the heart of their disconnection. Rooted in attachment theory, EFT supports stronger emotional bonds by revealing how your core needs for love, safety, and support show up in relationships.
EFT Can Support:
- Repeated conflict or emotional withdrawal in relationships
- Feelings of insecurity or abandonment
- Difficulty expressing needs and emotions
- Healing from betrayal or emotional injuries
- Building deeper emotional closeness and trust
How It Works:
In EFT sessions, we’ll explore your emotional patterns—both what’s said and what’s not. We’ll slow down reactive cycles and help you tune into the vulnerable feelings underneath. Over time, you’ll learn to recognize your attachment needs and express them in ways that create safety and connection, rather than conflict or shutdown.
EFT is collaborative and present-focused, while still honoring past wounds that may be shaping current behavior. The goal isn’t just to stop arguments, it’s to help you feel safe, supported, and emotionally seen.
Who It Helps
EFT is helpful for both individuals and couples, especially when:
- You’re feeling emotionally disconnected in your relationship
- Conflict feels like a repeating cycle with no resolution
- You want to rebuild intimacy after hurt or betrayal
- You struggle to ask for what you need emotionally
- You long to feel more secure and supported in love
