My approach to couple's therapy predominantly uses techniques from the work of Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) that works with past relationship traumas, disrupts negative interaction cycles, and utilizes conflict to create deep bonding experiences in the therapy room.
|
EFT is a short term (8-20 sessions) structured approach to couples therapy and has been validated by over 20 years of empirical research. Nearly 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements.
EFT promotes a shift in partners' interactional positions and initiates new cycles of interaction. New cycles of bonding interactions occur and replace negative cycles such as pursue-withdraw or criticize-defend. These positive cycles then become self-reinforcing and create permanent change. The relationship becomes a safe haven and a healing environment for both partners. -Iceeft.com |
