Being in an intimate relationship can be one of the most rewarding and challenging parts of life. Many of us assume that if we have chosen our partner wisely, happiness will ensue.
However, we each have a particular attachment style that determines how comfortable we are in proximity to others. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples understand the attachment style of each partner and the dynamic that exists between them.
EFT also helps couples recognize and understand the negative cycle that interferes with their communication. With this awareness, less time and energy is spent on regulating negative emotions and protecting individual vulnerabilities. Instead, the partners can turn to each other for comfort and support so as to be resilient and meet life’s challenges.
Our work together would help each partner understand their part in the couple’s negative cycle and create vulnerable communication so as to create a stronger couple bond.
