Couples Therapy:
What causes the never-ending bickering with your partner or the dreadful silences that keep you both apart?
The anxiety, the withdrawal? We long so much to connect, yet sometimes it feels almost impossible. You may be wondering, "what happened to us and how did we end up here?" Those initial moments of fun and intimacy feel like they never existed; life
got complicated with the kids, scheduling, and work; so much to do all the
time, and your partner and you lost your ways to reconnect.
It is not uncommon for couples to feel trapped in this cycle. In Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, we call this a negative cycle. Negative cycles frequently develop a life of their own, and it is hard to dismantle them without help.
There are many reasons for the existence of a negative cycle. For example , we may have unresolved issues or old wounds that show up in our current relationships without us knowing. A new event can trigger us by and resembling an old wound, and we are doomed to react.
Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) creates a safe place and provides space. We slow down time for those hidden wounds and vulnerabilities to show up in front of our partner. As a result, our partner may have a better understanding of what is happening, and what may have originally arisen as reactivity or anger instead takes the form of compassion. EFT is an effective type of psychotherapy formulated in the 1980s based on John Bowlby's attachment theory, created and developed by Dr. Sue Johnson. In this model, emotions and emotional regulation are considered the key elements that assist us in organizing our individual experiences as well as our relationships. This theory can be applied to both couples and individual therapy.
Couples sessions last between 75 and 90 minutes. Individual Sessions last 60 Minutes.
Both can be done in person or online.
