Written By Peta Stinson

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the role of emotions in individual and relationship functioning. It is a short-term, structured approach that helps individuals and couples identify, experience, understand, and manage their emotions to improve emotional well-being and relationship satisfaction. EFT is grounded in attachment theory, which posits that close relationships are essential for emotional regulation and overall well-being.
