Some couples experience moments of ambivalence about whether to stay in a relationship or part ways. When emotions run high, making decisions can feel overwhelming. Couple Counselling offers valuable support during these challenging times. One evidence-based approach, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), focuses on identifying emotional patterns, strengthening connection, and fostering understanding between partners. EFT provides a structured framework for couples to explore their feelings in a way that promotes clarity and emotional healing, helping them make thoughtful decisions about their relationship.
The EFT model was developed to help couples recognize and transform negative emotional patterns that erode intimacy. It emphasizes the role of emotions in shaping each partner’s thoughts, behaviors, and needs. Through EFT, couples learn to connect on a deeper emotional level, fostering empathy and understanding. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the emotional bond and improve the couple’s ability to respond to each other with care—whether they decide to rebuild their relationship or part ways.
