Understanding the Negative Cycle
The negative cycle of interaction in emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is crucial for understanding client dynamics. When individuals or couples are faced with distress, they often resort to secondary attachment strategies, such as withdrawal or criticism, rather than reaching out for connection. This behavior creates a feedback loop where protective behaviors hinder attachment needs from being met. Recognizing that these strategies reinforce each other allows therapists to shift focus from content-specific issues to the underlying processes that maintain these negative patterns.
