A groundbreaking approach for couples: Emotionally Focused Therapy

Couples may think their problem is about communication, conflict resolution, or sexual difficulties, but an insecure attachment bond is often at the root of the problem. Attachment theory provides a new way to think about love relationships. EFT is based on attachment theory, which helps us understand the key to happy, satisfying relationships: a secure emotional bond where partners feel deeply connected. Insecure attachment bonds result in using negative interactions in an effort to reestablish connection. Participants will understand how to conceptualize couple distress, review the stages of EFT for couples, and have treatment suggestions to foster corrective emotional experiences.
