How EFT can help you to stop fighting.

5/26/2015

 
How EFT can hlep you to stop fighting.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a technique often used with couples who are in conflict and are having trouble communicating effectively.  What often happens is the couple has lost their closeness and are protesting the loss of connection, which is expressed in fighting and bickering.  Both want to be close again but are not effectively letting their partner know “I miss you, I want to connect”. 
The goal is to understand the negative cycle the couple has gotten into in order to expand and reorganize key emotional responses.  This offers a shift in the couples interactional position and initiate a new cycle of interaction.
