Emotionally focused therapy

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is based in the science of attachment research and our innate wiring for social-relational bonding. The focus is on learning to attune to, and communicate more productively about, emotions in oneself and in relationships.  EFT aims to foster more secure attachment bonds. There is a lot of overlap in EFT with somatic experiencing principles (focus on emotional/body regulation) and psychodynamic principles (finding root causes of intense emotions in past experiences/attachments). My couples work is heavily informed by EFT principles.
