Emotionally Focused Therapy was created by Sue Johnson
and Les Greenberg almost thirty years ago. Today it has been
proven that it is an effective treatment for distressed couples
and is considered a short term therapy. In EFT research
studies, most couples (over 70%) turned their relationship
around in 15 – 20 sessions and over 90% of couples “significantly improved”
when seeing a trained and certified EFT Therapist.
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) offers a comprehensive
theory of adult love and attachment, as well as a Therapy process for healing
distressed relationships. It recognizes that relationship distress results from a
perceived threat to basic adult needs for safety, security, and closeness in
intimate relationships. EFT helps couples by working to strengthen
attachment bonds. Having strong attachment bonds means couples feel safe
together, know they are most important to their partner, are more flexible in
problem solving, communicate, and feel securely connected. The same old
fight is finally resolved. The walls that kept you away from each other crumble
away and the feelings that brought you together in the beginning revive and
grow.
EFT research has been published in professional journals proving its
effectiveness. As a model of therapy, it is respected widely in the field as is
the therapy co-originator, award winning psychologist, Dr. Susan Johnson.
Over the past 30 years many research studies have proven EFT works!
If you’d like to increase your closeness, improve communication, stop fighting
or renew the spark of early courtship, then EFT can work for you!
