FAQ EFT for Couples
EFT is a structured approach to couples therapy that focuses on creating secure emotional bonds between partners. It helps couples understand and change their patterns of interaction while deepening their emotional connection.
EFT uniquely focuses on emotions as the key organizers of behaviour patterns in relationships. Rather than just teaching communication skills, it helps couples understand their emotional responses and attachment needs.
Your therapist will help you and your partner identify negative interaction patterns, explore the emotions underneath these patterns, and learn to express needs and feelings in ways that create closer connection. Sessions involve both partners actively participating in the process.
EFT has shown remarkable effectiveness for couples in distress. Research indicates that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and 90% show significant improvements. Individual results may vary.
EFT for couples typically ranges from 8-20 sessions, depending on the couple’s specific needs and circumstances. Some couples may benefit from shorter or longer treatment durations.
EFT for Couples is designed for a wide range of issues such as:
- Communication difficulties
- Trust issues
- Emotional disconnection
- Conflict resolution
- Intimacy problems
- Recovery from affairs
- Life transition challenges
