Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Don't Let Your Thoughts Control Your Life
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured, science-backed approach designed to help individuals, couples, and families understand their emotional needs and build stronger, more secure connections. It focuses on the patterns that keep people stuck in conflict, distance, or emotional disconnection—and helps replace those patterns with ones based on safety, bonding, and trust.
WHAT WE OFFER FOR YOU
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, EFT is used to gently uncover emotional blocks, repair strained relationships, and restore closeness, compassion, and communication—whether in your romantic relationship, your family, or within yourself.
Why Emotionally Focused Therapy Is Used
We all need connection. When that connection feels broken or unsafe, we may react by shutting down, getting defensive, or chasing approval.
Over time, this creates painful cycles that are hard to break—especially in relationships that matter most.
EFT is especially helpful for:
Couples stuck in repeating arguments or distance
Families navigating ongoing tension or miscommunication
Individuals struggling with fear of abandonment, insecurity, or emotional overwhelm
Healing emotional wounds from betrayal, loss, or trauma
Strengthening emotional intimacy and understanding
You don’t need to “figure it all out” on your own—EFT helps you get to the root of the issue and heal from it.
The Goal of EFT
The goal of Emotionally Focused Therapy is to help you:
Understand the deeper emotions and needs that drive conflict
Create safe emotional bonds with others
Build new communication patterns based on vulnerability and respect
Heal from emotional wounds and feel more secure
This approach is rooted in attachment theory, meaning it focuses on your need to feel connected and safe with others—and how to meet that need in healthier ways.
How EFT Helps You Heal & Reconnect
Emotionally Focused Therapy helps you break out of emotional cycles that no longer serve you. Instead of reacting in fear or frustration, you learn to respond with understanding, compassion, and connection.
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, EFT gives you the language, support, and structure to feel safe opening up—and to feel loved again for who you truly are.
A Simple Story:
Meet Marcus and Tasha
Marcus and Tasha have been married for 8 years, but lately, everything feels tense. They argue about small things and feel like they’re speaking different languages. Marcus says Tasha pulls away. Tasha says Marcus never really listens.
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, they began EFT sessions. Their therapist helped them slow things down and explore what was really happening underneath the anger. Tasha shared her fear of not being good enough. Marcus revealed his deep sense of failure.
As they learned to express their core emotions with safety, their walls came down. Now they’re reconnecting—not just as partners, but as a team again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?
No! Art therapy is about expression, not talent. There’s no right or wrong way to make art in a session.
Is EFT only for couples?
Depending on your needs, you might use drawing tools, paint, clay, collage, or even simple crafts. Your therapist will provide what’s needed.
How is EFT different from regular talk therapy?
EFT focuses on emotional experience, not just logic. It helps you feel safer expressing vulnerability and creating deeper emotional bonds with others.
Will I have to relive past trauma?
Not necessarily. EFT works in the present moment, helping you heal patterns shaped by past experiences—without needing to retell every painful story.
Can EFT help if we argue all the time?
Yes. EFT is especially effective for couples who feel stuck in the same arguments. It helps shift blame into understanding and teaches healthier emotional responses.
