About EFT and Gottman Method for Couples

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples is a structured approach to couples therapy developed in the 1980s by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Les Greenberg. It is grounded in attachment theory, which suggests that secure emotional bonds are vital for a healthy relationship. EFT focuses on identifying and reshaping negative patterns of interaction that undermine a couple's bond. The therapist works with the couple to create a safe, supportive environment where both partners can express their deeper feelings, vulnerabilities, and attachment needs. By understanding and transforming these emotional dynamics, EFT helps couples develop a more secure attachment, improving emotional connection, trust, and communication.

EFT is often used to help couples who are struggling with issues such as emotional disconnection, unresolved conflicts, infidelity, and trauma. By addressing the underlying emotional needs and patterns that drive conflict, EFT helps couples build stronger, more resilient relationships.

The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy is a research-based approach developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, grounded in over four decades of studying thousands of couples to understand what makes relationships succeed or fail. The method focuses on fostering healthy communication, deepening emotional connection, and building a foundation of friendship, trust, and intimacy between partners. Central to the Gottman Method is the "Sound Relationship House" theory, which identifies key elements such as creating shared meaning, nurturing fondness and admiration, and managing conflict constructively.

This approach is known for its practical, evidence-based strategies, including the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" model, and an exercise called “love maps”. By combining scientific research with practical exercises, the Gottman Method empowers couples to improve their relationship’s health and resilience, fostering a more fulfilling and enduring partnership.
