What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an established therapy of couples, families, individuals, and groups that assists individuals to comprehend and transform emotional patterns and establish stronger and more secure relationships through deeper feelings access (such as fear, sadness) compared to surface behaviors (such as anger). EFT is a relationship distress transformation therapeutic approach that employs a step-by-step, goal-oriented treatment (De-escalation, Restructuring, Consolidation) whereby the partners articulate needs, generate new positive cycles, and establish emotional safet,y whereby underlying attachment needs are addressed to promote relationship distress into secure holding.
In a setting of safety and order, our caring professionals offer you a place where you can explore events of underlying emotions, abandon reactive cycles, and make other healthier patterns of relationships.

What to Expect: The Process of Emotionally Focused Therapy
We create an art therapy process as a part of the comprehensive treatment plan, depending on your needs. Here’s how we structure it:
Assessment & De-escalation
During the initial sessions, your therapist helps to define the negative cycles of interaction and emotional responsiveness that could be causing pain and/or distance.
Defining & Discovering Central Emotions
You will be taken to the roots of anger, withdrawal, or criticism to reach the deeper feelings/needs, i.e., fear of being deserted, needing to be connected, or vulnerable.
Reorganizing the Patterns and making New Responses
As emotional awareness increases, we do practice with you different patterns of relating, which enable a sense of safety, responsiveness, and connection rather than the reactive distancing or conflict.
Consolidation & Integration
Later, in subsequent sessions, you transfer the new patterns of interaction into your day-to-day life and ensure your progress in such a way that the gains can be maintained.
Who Can Benefit
- Couples experiencing consistent conflict, distance/mistrust.
- Those who have become trapped with emotions would not associate anxiety or depression with relationship problems.
- Families or parent-child relationship(s) are put to the test of disconnection, communication breakdown or unresolved trauma.
- Whoever has the desire to stop being reactive so as to be in a position to develop more genuine, emotionally secure relationships.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 5 basic moves of EFT?
The five basic moves, often called the EFT Tango (used in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples), are Reflect (the present process), Explore (primary emotions), Enact (a new emotional interaction), Process (the enactment), and Integrate (new understanding/change).
How effective is EFT for anxiety?
EFT (Tapping) is considered moderately to largely effective for anxiety. Studies show it can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms, often by lowering the stress hormone cortisol and calming the brain’s stress response center (the amygdala). It can be used as a standalone or complementary treatment.
What is the difference between EFT and CBT?
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a structured approach that focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) focuses on processing and transforming emotions and attachment bonds, particularly in relationships, to create a deeper emotional connection and regulation.
Why is EFT tapping so powerful?
EFT tapping is powerful because it combines a cognitive focus (verbalizing the problem/self-acceptance) with physical stimulation (tapping on acupressure points). This stimulation sends a calming signal to the amygdala, essentially reducing the physical and neurological stress response while the client confronts the distressing thought or feeling.
How long does EFT usually last?
For EFT (Tapping), relief can sometimes be felt in minutes, and a course of treatment for a specific issue may only require a few sessions. For EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), especially for couples, it is considered a short-term model, typically ranging from 8 to 20 sessions, depending on the complexity of the issues.
What should I expect in my first EFT session?
The first session focuses on assessment and safety. You will explore the history of your issue (or relationship pattern, if couples therapy), discuss your goals, and identify the specific emotions and core needs driving the distress. The therapist will be active, empathetic, and help you feel safe enough to begin exploring your emotional world.
