It is a unique form of therapy, with a humanistic approach, based primarily on attachment theory. It was developed by Sue Johnson, based on the principle that our emotions are central to our experiences and relationships. It suggests that we are naturally designed to have a sense of who we are that we can trust and from which we can be. This solid foundation allows for strong supportive bonds with others, and when these bonds are secure, we tend to be happier and healthier.    <\/p>\n<p>EFT is widely recognized for helping couples strengthen their relationships (known as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy or EFCT), and is also extremely beneficial for individual therapy (EFIT) and family therapy (EFFT). For individual therapy (EFIT), it can be particularly helpful in dealing with feelings of depression, anxiety, or emotional aftershocks from traumatic events. For families (EFFT), it is used to deepen connections and repair strained relationships, making it an excellent option for families looking to improve their dynamics.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_60e9caca us_animate_this height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_custom laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--custom-columns:1fr 4fr 1fr \"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_a27c4528 has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox us_custom_8057b1e0 has_text_color iconpos_top style_default color_secondary align_center\"><div class=\"w-iconbox-icon\" style=\"font-size:3.5rem;\"><i class=\"fal fa-hands-heart\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox-meta\"><h3 class=\"w-iconbox-title\">Why Choose EFT?<\/h3><div class=\"w-iconbox-text\"><p style=\"text-align: center\">What makes EFT stand out is its focus on emotions and how we manage and use them. This approach helps people understand their emotions and those of the people around them, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships. It&#8217;s not just about finding quick fixes; it&#8217;s about getting to the heart of the matter and creating lasting change.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">EFT is widely supported by extensive clinical research. In addition to being a therapy model, it is also the basis of some relationship education programs, such as the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/holdmetightonline.com\/\">Hold Me Tight\u00ae<\/a>&#8221; program, which is available both in person and online. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><h2 class=\"w-text us_custom_ebddb64a has_text_color\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">If you are looking to&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/h2><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_4 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_289a9640 us_animate_this has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-iconbox us_custom_8057b1e0 has_text_color iconpos_top style_default color_secondary align_center no_text\"><div class=\"w-iconbox-icon\" style=\"font-size:4rem;\"><i class=\"fal fa-heart\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox-meta\"><h4 class=\"w-iconbox-title\" style=\"font-size:24px;\">Deepen your personal connections<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_1a921637 us_animate_this has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-iconbox us_custom_8057b1e0 has_text_color iconpos_top style_default color_secondary align_center no_text\"><div class=\"w-iconbox-icon\" style=\"font-size:4rem;\"><i class=\"fal fa-cloud-showers\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox-meta\"><h4 class=\"w-iconbox-title\" style=\"font-size:24px;\">Manage emotional challenges<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_f227dc74 us_animate_this has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-iconbox us_custom_8057b1e0 has_text_color iconpos_top style_default color_secondary align_center no_text\"><div class=\"w-iconbox-icon\" style=\"font-size:4rem;\"><i class=\"fal fa-head-side-brain\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox-meta\"><h4 class=\"w-iconbox-title\" style=\"font-size:22px;\">Strengthen your sense of self as a secure and competent person<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_aa4b65b5 us_animate_this has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-iconbox us_custom_8057b1e0 has_text_color iconpos_top style_default color_secondary align_center no_text\"><div class=\"w-iconbox-icon\" style=\"font-size:4rem;\"><i class=\"fal fa-hand-holding-heart\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox-meta\"><h4 class=\"w-iconbox-title\" style=\"font-size:24px;\">Improve your family or romantic relationships<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><h5 class=\"w-text us_custom_ebddb64a has_text_color\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">&#8230;Emotionally Focused Therapy is a transformative option.<\/span><\/span><\/h5><div class=\"w-separator size_small with_line width_50 thick_1 style_solid color_text align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_custom laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;--custom-columns:1fr 4fr 1fr \"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p style=\"text-align: center\">It&#8217;s about building stronger connections, understanding yourself and others better, and fostering emotional health.
