In this episode of Psychotherapy Central, I’m diving into the deeply transformative process of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT)—one of the most effective, evidence-based approaches to relationship healing.

Whether you're feeling stuck in repetitive arguments, disconnected from your partner, or simply longing for deeper emotional intimacy, EFCT offers a roadmap. I’ll walk you through the three stages of this powerful therapy model and explore how we can move from disconnection and reactivity to vulnerability and reconnection.

You’ll learn:

What EFCT is and why it works

The pursue–withdraw cycle and how it keeps couples stuck

How to transform protest into vulnerability

The role of attachment needs in conflict

How EFCT supports long-term relational healing

If you’re a therapist, in a relationship, or simply curious about deep emotional healing, this episode is for you.
