What is EFT?
Emotionally Focused Therapy was developed by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg; it has been highly researched (over 30 years) and has been found to be one of the most effective approaches in resolving relationship distress. EFT helps us begin to track and slow down our dance of distress (negative interactional pattern); which helps us interrupt it in rocky moments. EFT also helps us learn about our protective strategies, our attachment fears and longings and how to communicate/ share in clear and vulnerable ways. Tracking our dance of distress, being able to slow down/ interrupt it and sharing from primary emotion/ vulnerability all leads to increased emotional safety, meaningful connection and intimacy. Since EFT focuses on slowing down negative interactional patterns and helps cultivate clear communication increasing satisfaction in relationships and relational health and wellness, it is also widely applicable in the workplace and community.
