Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is typically used by couples who are having difficulty managing their emotions in the relationship and those who feel disconnected and unsatisfied with their relationship.

The primary risk associated with Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is that it can be emotionally challenging and complex for the couple to express their feelings and vulnerabilities to one another. Additionally, it is crucial to be aware that couples therapy may not always help the couple improve their relationship; some couples may find that the therapy brings up unresolved issues or intensifies conflicts.

Both are approaches to helping couples improve their relationships. Both therapies focus on understanding the dynamics of the couple’s interaction and improving communication. Additionally, both therapies use techniques focused on identifying and expressing emotions, repairing attachment injuries, changing problem behaviors, and promoting forgiveness.
