What is EFT Couple Therapy?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a structured, evidence-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on developing emotional intelligence and fostering secure, resilient relationships. EFT is grounded in attachment theory and helps couples identify and understand their emotional needs and patterns of interaction that cause distress in their relationships.
The Effectiveness of EFT
Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of EFT in improving relationship satisfaction, emotional connection, and communication among couples. Here are some key statistics that highlight the efficacy of EFT for couple therapy:
High Success Rate: Research indicates that 70-75% of couples who undergo EFT move from distress to recovery, with approximately 90% showing significant improvements.
Long-term Effects: Studies have shown that the positive effects of EFT are long-lasting. Couples who have completed EFT report stable and enduring improvements in their relationship satisfaction and emotional connection, even several years after therapy has concluded.
Reduction in Relationship Distress: EFT has been found to significantly reduce relationship distress in various populations, including couples facing chronic illness, parents of children with autism, and veterans with PTSD.
Improvement in Communication: EFT effectively improves communication between partners, fostering a more open and secure way of expressing needs and emotions. Research has shown that couples who undergo EFT experience a significant improvement in their ability to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts.
Effectiveness in Diverse Populations: EFT has been successfully applied in diverse cultural contexts and with couples of different sexual orientations.
How does it work?
Stage 1: Assessment and De-escalation
Objective: The primary goal of the first stage is to create a safe and supportive environment for both partners. During this stage, you will identify the negative interaction patterns that lead to disconnection and conflict. This stage is about understanding the dynamics of the relationship and the underlying emotions and needs that fuel these patterns.
Stage 2: Restructuring the Bond
Stage 2 focuses on deepening emotional engagement and restructuring the emotional bond between partners. This stage aims to foster moments of vulnerability, allowing for new, positive interactions that create a stronger, more secure bond.
Stage 3: Consolidation and Integration
The final stage of EFT aims to consolidate the gains made in emotional connection and help you apply your new interaction patterns to everyday situations and old conflicts. This stage ensures the durability of the changes and integrates them into your relationship as a new way of being together.
How long does it take?
The entire process of EFT typically ranges from 8 to 20 sessions, though this can vary depending on the couple’s specific needs and progress. The pace of therapy is tailored to each couple to foster lasting change.
For couples considering EFT, it’s important to know that this therapy offers a clear roadmap out of distress and towards a stronger, more secure relationship. It requires openness, willingness to explore emotions, and engagement with the process. EFT has a strong track record of success, making it a hopeful option for couples seeking to deepen their connection and resolve conflicts.
