Issues relationship therapy can help with:
It's important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, as every relationship is unique and may have its own specific challenges.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is the scientifically based therapeutic approach to help relationships thrive. In fact, studies show that over 70% of couples in EFT went from distressed to happy, and 90% significantly improved. [1] Perhaps more important, the results were stable two years later.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is a form of therapy that aims to strengthen the emotional connection between partners. Its primary goal is to foster emotional safety and connection to create a secure relationship for both people in the relationship. EFCT interventions take what is happening between partners and restructures their interactions into more vulnerable and connecting experiences. [2]
Those key moments of deep connection can offer healing! And that’s one of the reasons Healing Moments Counseling uses EFCT.
