Emotionally Focused Therapy: What Is It?

Emotionally Focused Therapy, or EFT, is a powerful tool that enhances emotional connection by shaping the human capacity to love. It promotes trust, connection, and desire for oneself and others through a lens of attachment to embody deeply satisfying relationships.

Outcomes unequivocally demonstrate that EFT-trained therapists have the necessary skills to heal relationships and provide long-lasting results. This type of therapy has achieved more significant positive effects than any other intervention strategy. It is a proven fact that EFT works exceptionally well when handling issues such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and chronic illness.

Effective communication is critical to influencing others. Our ability to communicate our emotions and needs through signals determines how successful we are at building nurturing and supportive relationships. EFT aims to improve respectful communication skills between partners, enabling them to send positive signals that meet each other’s emotional needs.

In addition, EFT can help individuals identify emotionally capable partners, leading to healthy and fulfilling relationships as it interacts with intrapsychic and interpersonal processes. This therapy focuses on how these processes interact and shape each other during their interaction. Therefore, the “within” and “between” are equally important in EFT so clients can find their voice and be heard.
