Emotionally Focused Therapy

Outcome studies show that 90% of couples who do Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) experience meaningful improvement and roughly 73% achieve full recovery.¹

EFT draws on humanistic and systemic principles to help create a more secure attachment bond in a relationship. This model integrates the intrapsychic perspective afforded by experiential approaches with an interpersonal systemic perspective to help distressed partners shape emotional accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement—the key elements of attachment security.2

Being trapped in a broken marriage can feel like navigating a treacherous emotional landscape with no compass. EFT is the most consistently effective model in solving that conflict. For the first time in history, we have an accurate, detailed, and effective road map that outlines exactly why marriages die and how to bring them back to life.
