Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between EFT for individuals and EFT for couples?
Individual EFT (Greenberg) focuses on processing and transforming one's own emotions. Couples EFT (Sue Johnson) focuses on attachment bonds and emotional availability between partners. Both use emotions as the focal point.
How do you work with emotions in EFT?
The therapist helps you reach your core emotions — the deeper feelings beneath immediate reactions. For example, anger may cover vulnerability. By processing core emotions, lasting change is created.
Is EFT evidence-based?
Yes, EFT has solid research evidence, particularly for treating depression and couple problems. Studies show that EFT is effective at reducing emotional pain and improving relational satisfaction.
