Starting Emotionally focused therapy (EFT)

What is emotionally focused therapy (EFT)?

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a counseling approach that is rooted in the belief that emotions play a pivotal role in shaping one’s identity and guiding daily choices. EFT posits that lacking emotional awareness can lead to adverse consequences, that avoiding or suppressing emotions can result in negative life outcomes, and that avoiding emotional responses may impair one’s ability to process emotions in the future. In emotionally focused therapy, trained Thriveworks Beverly Hills therapists can implement emotionally focused therapy techniques to improve emotional awareness while equipping you with coping strategies to effectively confront and manage your emotions.

What does EFT do?

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) draws from attachment theory and emphasizes the role of emotions in relationships. EFT identifies negative interaction patterns, promoting open communication, empathy, and emotional safety. Thriveworks emotionally focused counseling in Beverly Hills, MI is comprised of three stages: de-escalation, restructuring, and consolidation. Emotionally focused therapy techniques effectively address issues in couples like communication problems, infidelity, and emotional disconnection, and have been adapted for individual and family therapy.

What is EFT good for?

Emotionally focused therapy is mainly used to treat couples by addressing conflict, improving communication, and working to solve other concerns. However, emotionally focused therapy techniques can also be effective in treating families and depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns in individuals

What is the success rate of EFT?

Emotionally focused therapy can be remarkably successful. A research article by Stephanie Weibe and Susan Johnson titled A Review of the Research in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (2016) shows that EFT has a 70%-73% success rate, and 90% of couples cited overall improvement in their relationship after the use of emotionally focused therapy techniques. It is one of the most effective couples therapy techniques.

What are the three stages of treatment in EFT?

The three stages of emotionally focused therapy are de-escalation, restructuring bonds, and consolidation. These three stages work together to help individuals break out of negative patterns of emotional disconnection, develop a new sense of emotional knowledge and security, and integrate new patterns of problem-solving and trusting emotional cues.

Can you use EFT in individual therapy?

Yes, emotionally focused therapy and emotionally focused therapy techniques can be used in individual therapy. Rather than working to improve an individual’s relationship with their significant other, emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT) is used to help people develop a more secure sense of self, improve emotional regulation skills, and foster healthier relationships.

Is EFT conducted in person or online?

If you’re wondering, Is there emotionally focused therapy near me?, the answer is yes — it can be wherever you are. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online via video conferencing. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does EFT last?

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is typically structured as a short- to medium-term therapy, with emotionally focused therapy techniques being implemented over a series of sessions lasting from a few months to several months. The specific number and length of EFT sessions are decided together by the client and therapist, considering progress and therapeutic objectives.

Amanda is such an incredible mental health provider! I look forward to our weekly or bi-weekly sessions (depending on my schedule, she's always accommodating if I need to switch things up). She's my sounding board, and in the 18+ months I've been seeing her, she's helped me navigate through many of my long term struggles as well as the short term crises with patience and compassion.
