In EFT, Ros Best will work with the couple first to establish emotional safety. We then focus on emotions that are coming up for each partner. What deeper meaning and longing lies beneath these emotions? Ros will help each partner to make sense of their own emotions, and then express them directly to their partner and take in their partner’s response for a truly bonding experience. It sounds deceptively simple! This is one of the two most evidence-based couple therapy approaches available. For a primer, read Sue Johnson’s Hold Me Tight to better understand the dynamics that almost always are at play.
