What Is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples?
EFT is an evidence-based, structured approach to couples counseling that emphasizes emotions as the key to connection. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT helps partners identify negative interaction patterns, express emotions safely, and create secure bonds.
Unlike traditional therapy that may focus primarily on behavior, EFT prioritizes emotional awareness and responsiveness, helping couples create lasting change in their relationship.
