Psychotherapy Central Heal Your Relationships with Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)
In this episode of Psychotherapy Central, I’m diving into the deeply transformative process of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT)—one of the most effective, evidence-based approaches to relationship healing.
Whether you're feeling stuck in repetitive arguments, disconnected from your partner, or simply longing for deeper emotional intimacy, EFCT offers a roadmap. I’ll walk you through the three stages of this powerful therapy model and explore how we can move from disconnection and reactivity to vulnerability and reconnection.
You’ll learn:
-
What EFCT is and why it works
-
The pursue–withdraw cycle and how it keeps couples stuck
-
How to transform protest into vulnerability
-
The role of attachment needs in conflict
-
How EFCT supports long-term relational healing
If you’re a therapist, in a relationship, or simply curious about deep emotional healing, this episode is for you.
