Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT); EFT for Couples (EFCT)

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is a short-term (eight to 20 sessions) structured approach based on attachment science. EFT integrates a humanistic, experiential approach to restructuring emotional experiences and a systemic structural approach to restructuring interactions. The overall goal is to develop secure attachments and strengthen emotional bonds. Research shows that this therapy has lasting effects, particularly for couples coping with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, medical illness, and forgiveness dilemmas.
