Emotionally Focused Therapy
When To Go To Couple Therapy?
For most couples, it’s not easy to make the decision to try counseling. It’s not easy to acknowledge that things aren’t as perfect as we’d like them to be in a relationship that started out with high hopes and great expectations. It takes courage to acknowledge that everything we have tried at home hasn’t been enough to achieve the results we’re looking for. Research has found that the longer couples wait before seeking counseling, the harder it becomes to turn around unhelpful habits and resolve hurt and resentment.

With the guidance of the therapist, couples are led to discover the unmet need for closeness that lies under their anger or alienation. Sharing that vulnerability not only opens the door to a new couple’s dialogue but creates instant opportunities for expressions of tenderness. “Emotional responsiveness—tuning into and supporting the other—is the key defining element of love,” Sue Johnson, Ph.D.
Emotionally Focused Therapy has been shown to be effective in addressing a variety of relationship issues, including communication difficulties, relationship conflicts, infidelity, trust issues, and emotional distance. It is suitable for couples in various stages of their relationship, from dating to long-term partnerships.
At the end of your first emotionally focused therapy session, if you decide to move forward and work with the therapist, you will be asked to schedule further appointments. At your second appointment, you will work with your therapist to set goals for your overall therapy experience and then begin working together towards achieving them. Call Us +(256) 741 056164 or Email [email protected] and speak to any of our office staff to learn more or schedule an appointment.
