Emotionally Focused Therapy, or EFT, is an attachment-based approach that helps couples see the cycles that keep them stuck, such as one person pursuing while the other withdraws, and reach for each other in new ways.
Sessions slow down conflict to find the deeper feelings and needs underneath. EFT is used to repair trust, rebuild closeness and help partners feel safe with each other, and it is affirming of many kinds of relationships.
