What is Emotionally focused therapy and is it effective for couples therapy?

Couples therapy also referred to as Marriage Counseling has long been recognized as a valuable tool for resolving conflicts and improving relationships. Among the various approaches, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) has gained significant attention for its effectiveness in helping couples reconnect and foster healthier emotional bonds. 

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a research-based approach that focuses on the emotional connection between partners. By identifying and addressing underlying emotions and attachment needs, EFT aims to create a secure and lasting bond within the relationship. 

EFT helps couples achieve emotional healing by identifying and processing deep-seated emotions that may be contributing to relationship distress. A study by Johnson et al. (2019) found that EFT significantly reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety in couples, leading to improved emotional well-being.
