EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY
IN ORANGE COUNTY

WHAT IS EMOTION-FOCUSED THERAPY (EFT)?

Emotion-Focused Therapy doesn’t blame couples for the distress in the relationship. Instead, it focuses on how the distress is a result of not understanding each other. 

When we don’t understand our partner, how we feel about and respond to them changes. As communication and connection get worse, couples wind up in a negative cycle. Intimacy decreases and couples react quickly and harshly instead of carefully and thoughtfully. 

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF EFT FOR COUPLES?

If you feel you and your partner have lost that special connection and sense of safety, emotion focused couple’s therapy can help. The goal of emotion focused therapy techniques is to help each partner feel and talk about their emotions in a safe and healing space. This is called developing a “secure attachment”  When a positive cycle forms, partners can have healthy emotional experiences like feeling comforted and protected.

• Depression
