EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) is a short (8–20 sessions), structured approach to couples therapy, formulated in the early 80’s, that now has a substantial body of research supporting its effectiveness. EFT is considered one of the most well-substantiated therapies for couples.

• Research finds that 70–75% of couples move from distress to recovery in 10–12 sessions. Approximately 90% of couples show significant improvement by the end of treatment.
• EFT leads to as good or better rates of improvement and better recovery than any other couples therapy.
• EFT leads to lasting changes. Three years after therapy is completed, relapse rates are extremely low, compared to high relapse rates one year after therapy for the only other two validated couples therapy methods. EFT can be applied to many different kinds of problems and populations.
