CONFERENCE TOPIC

The number one predictor of divorce is whether or not a couple is able to stay emotionally connected. All couples long to be emotionally connected with their spouse, yet inability to deal with differences, unresolved hurts, rigid fighting patterns, and busyness of life can get in the way. There is one counseling modality that focuses on helping couples unravel their fight cycle, heal their hurts, and emotionally connect—Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). Based on attachment theory, EFT aims to foster a close emotional attachment bond between a couple by accessing and expanding a couple’s emotional experience to create new ways of interacting. This workshop gives an overview of EFT, its core assumptions, and how it brings about lasting change in distressed couples.
