EFT is an experiential model of couple therapy that directly addresses disruptions in the strength and security of the attachment bond. Rooted in Bowlby’s attachment theory, it strengthens this bond by accessing and processing the underlying vulnerable emotions, often not expressed, that frequently fuel couple conflict.  In addition to the more common patterns of couple conflict, EFT is well-suited to help couples resolve affairs and heal in the aftermath of trauma. EFT is one of the few empiracally-validated couple therapies.

This intro to EFT for couples outlines the basic theory and interventions of the model, with a special focus on assessment and alliance building as well as the key events in the change process. Session video and discussion will be used to help bring the key features of the model into focus.
