Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Our favored approach for couples and families

EFT is a therapeutic approach that focuses on emotions and attachment in relationships. Its primary aim is to build or rebuild emotional connections between partners or family members, and it attempts to achieve this by addressing emotional communication issues that may exist.

Even in cases of infidelity, EFT-based couples therapy emphasizes the importance of emotional bonds and connections, which can be used to rebuild the relationship with a positive outlook.

This type of therapy is related to the idea of attachment. EFT hinges on the strong bonds and attachments that are formed between individuals and helps to heal them when they are damaged.

The therapist encourages open and honest communication between partners in a safe environment, which is one of the essential principles of EFT. This approach is effective in improving emotional connection and communication in relationships, reducing conflict, and increasing relationship satisfaction. EFT is also suitable for couples with emotional disorders.

One of its main tenets is that strong emotional bonds and connections between people are essential for happy and healthy relationships. Furthermore, the outlook of EFT is that such bonds can be revitalized.

EFT is especially useful in couples therapy, as it can help with issues such as communication problems, conflicts, and emotional distance. It can also be helpful in situations where one or more partners has issues with infidelity, trauma, or depression.

EFT is evidence-based and has been shown to be effective in helping people improve their emotional connection, reduce conflict, and increase relationship satisfaction. At Summit, we have been using this approach in our couples sessions with excellent results.
