What is Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy?
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is a structured approach to couples therapy that focuses on creating and strengthening secure emotional connections. Grounded in the science of adult attachment, EFCT helps couples understand their emotional responses and needs, fostering a climate where deep emotional bonds can flourish and endure.
How does Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy work?
EFCT works in three stages: de-escalation of negative cycles, changing interaction patterns, and consolidation. Therapists guide couples in identifying and discussing their emotional underpinnings, helping them move from conflict and distance to understanding and closeness. Through a series of structured conversations, couples learn to respond to each other’s needs with empathy, rebuilding trust and demonstrating commitment.
