Types of Relationship Therapy We Offer
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a therapeutic approach designed to enhance emotional understanding and connection within relationships. EFT is grounded in attachment theory, which emphasizes the importance of secure emotional bonds. In therapy, partners learn to identify and articulate their emotions, fostering an environment of empathy and support. By addressing negative interaction patterns, EFT aims to help couples rebuild trust and intimacy, ultimately creating a stronger emotional connection.
In the context of non-monogamous relationships, EFT can be particularly beneficial. Non-monogamy often involves navigating a complex web of emotions, including jealousy, insecurity, and varying attachment styles. EFT provides a framework for partners to openly discuss these feelings, helping them understand the roots of their emotions and how they affect their relationships. By focusing on emotional expression, partners can enhance their communication skills, ensuring that everyone’s needs and concerns are addressed.
The Gottman Approach is a research-based therapeutic framework designed to strengthen relationships and enhance emotional intimacy. Grounded in decades of empirical research, this approach focuses on understanding the dynamics of relationships through four key pillars: building a sound relationship house, enhancing friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning. The Gottman Method provides practical tools and exercises that help couples improve communication, increase intimacy, and resolve conflicts in a constructive manner.
One of the hallmarks of the Gottman Approach is its emphasis on the “Four Horsemen” of relationship breakdown—criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. By focusing on open communication and conflict resolution, the Gottman Approach provides tools for partners to discuss their feelings and expectations regarding multiple relationships. The emphasis on building a sound relationship house is particularly relevant, as it encourages all partners to work together to establish clear boundaries and shared values, fostering a sense of security amidst the complexities of non-monogamy.
