Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) transforms relationships by accessing the underlying attachment needs beneath intense emotion. Whether you're working with couples struggling to reconnect or individuals healing trauma wounds, EFT can help clients move from defensive cycles into genuine emotional engagement. By choreographing key moments where partners can reach for each other vulnerably, we can facilitate profound shifts in relationship dynamics that create lasting change. These articles explore EFT for couples and individuals as well as its place in grief work, trauma healing, and more. Learn from Sue Johnson, George Faller, and other experts about harnessing emotion's transformative power.
