You’ve tried to figure things out logically, but something’s still missing.
The logical approach may serve you well in your career, managing your time, achieving goals, staying organized, or planning ahead, but when it comes to managing your emotions and connecting with others, it just doesn’t seem to work. When anxiety or depression flare up, the feelings become overwhelming, confusing, and hard to navigate. And when your partner expresses concerns, their emotions and yours seem overwhelming and confusing, making it difficult to understand each other and connect. You try to understand what’s happening within yourself and in your relationships, but it feels out of your control, leaving you more disconnected and frustrated.
you still feel…
Overwhelmed and confused when strong emotions come up.
Disconnected, caught in the cycle of overthinking or shutting down to avoid the problem.
Frustrated by falling into the same patterns, both with yourself and in your relationships.
Emotionally Focused Therapy helps you understand yourself and connect with others on a deeper level.

Emotionally Focused Therapy is a therapy method that is based in attachment, the science of belonging, that focuses on emotions and emotional regulation.
Emotionally focused therapy helps individuals who feel stuck. The basic idea is that we always have a relationship with ourselves first. We can be our biggest supporters as well as our worst enemy.
EFT helps you understand your patterns of emotion, thoughts, and behaviors in a validating, non-judgmental way. It helps you work through difficult emotions and learn to manage them going forward. EFT helps you create a stronger connection with yourself so you can show up for yourself, in your relationships, and in the world the way you want to.

Validation & Empathy: EFT recognizes that the ways you’ve coped in the past made sense and helped you get through tough times. It’s not about blaming or judging — it’s about understanding those patterns and finding healthier, more effective ways to navigate life and relationships now.
Focus on Emotion: Whether you’re comfortable with some emotions or not comfortable with any, EFT helps you make sense of yourself and your relationships through emotion and uses emotion to create change.
Interaction Cycles: EFT helps identify negative interaction cycles and create more positive ones.
Vulnerability: EFT highlights the importance of vulnerability in connecting better with yourself and the relationships in your life.
