EFCT is a structured form of couples therapy that focuses on the emotional patterns driving disconnection in relationships. Rooted in attachment theory, EFCT helps couples identify and reshape negative interaction cycles, fostering deeper emotional intimacy and mutual understanding.
This approach is especially effective for couples experiencing:
- Persistent arguments and conflict
- Emotional distance or disconnection
- Struggles with trust or infidelity
- Major life transitions
EFCT is supported by decades of research and has demonstrated success in helping couples restore and strengthen their relationships.
How Does EFCT Work?
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy typically unfolds in three key stages:
- De-escalation of Conflict
The therapist works with the couple to identify negative patterns of interaction and uncover the underlying emotions fueling those patterns. This creates a foundation of safety and understanding. - Restructuring Emotional Bonds
Couples learn to express their needs and fears in a way that fosters connection rather than conflict. This stage helps rebuild trust and emotional closeness. - Consolidation and Integration
The final stage focuses on reinforcing positive interaction patterns and equipping couples with tools to maintain a healthy, connected relationship moving forward.
