Understanding Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a type of therapy that focuses on helping couples and individuals understand and improve their emotional connections. EFT helps you and your partner better understand your feelings and needs, so you can build a stronger and more supportive relationship.
Application and Scope of EFT:
EFT is used to improve relationships and address issues like communication problems, conflicts, and distance between partners. It's really good for couples who want to feel closer and more connected to each other. EFT has been proven to be effective in helping couples improve their relationships and build more secure bonds.

EFT sessions provide a safe space for you to work through conflicts and learn how to support each other emotionally.
