What is EFT?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a research-based, short-term (8–20 sessions) therapeutic approach to working with couples and families. Using this approach, people learn to be secure, resilient, and successful in their relationships.
EFT helps people enhance their loving connections, increases relationship satisfaction, enhances open communication, and encourages empathic responses toward one another, ultimately decreasing conflict in the relationship.
