Emotionally Focused Therapy: A Path to Secure Love
Through EFT, I help couples understand that underneath conflict lies a deep need for secure attachment. When we feel disconnected, we often react with anger or withdrawal – but these are really protests against the loss of connection.
Your relationship distress makes sense. You're caught in a pattern that blocks the emotional safety you both need. I'll help you identify this cycle, understand the attachment emotions driving it, and create new patterns of sharing vulnerability and responding with comfort.
Outcomes: Creating a port in the storm of life
Through EFT, couples develop what Bowlby called a "safe haven" – a relationship where you can:
As you build this secure attachment, you'll find that relationship distress diminishes and love deepens. You'll develop what we call "earned secure attachment" – the ability to maintain emotional connection even when facing life's challenges.
