EFT: Attachment Science in Practice

We've become very known as a leading edge couples' therapy. And I think it's safe to say that we've changed the couple therapy world. But, actually, EFT is not just for couples. It's not just for helping couples bond and heparin make better relationships that last. EFT has always been used with individuals and families. So we think of it now as really EFTs a way of engaging people and working with them that goes across individual couple and family. So we kind of work with everybody. We work with people who are anxious and depressed. We work with individuals who are stuck in some sort of life dilemma. We work with, distressed couples. We work with couples who are facing physical illness like heart disease, we work with couples who are facing mental health problems like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. We work with escalated couples. We work with couples who are very withdrawn on how to talk to each other. We work with families, with acting out kids. We work with families with depressed kids. Basically, we feel that understanding personality, the way we do, understanding our basic needs and fears through attachment and understanding how to work with the most powerful thing in the room, which is emotion. And create these new corrective experiences that we can work easily with individuals, couples, or families.
