How is EFT different from traditional couples therapy?
Many traditional approaches focus primarily on communication skills or problem-solving. EFT goes deeper.
Rather than teaching surface-level strategies, EFT helps couples understand the emotional and attachment needs driving their conflict. When partners feel emotionally safe and understood, communication naturally shifts. EFT is one of the most researched and effective models for couples therapy, with strong long-term outcomes.
