The modern times have created isolation and discomfort in relationships. The everyday life, the stress of survival and the multiple roles (father/mother, partner, friend, brother/sister) create countless responsibilities in life. Considering the psychological and physical fatigue, tensions and conflicts are inevitable. When conflicts are not resolved and are recycled this creates deterioration in the couple as well. There is a stronger desire for better emotional connection and communication with the people you love and want to be in your life.
Couple Therapy offers a safe environment of respect and acceptance for the couple, in order to find the necessary space and time to express the couple's difficulties, concerns and desires.
Couples therapy through EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) aims to improve the couple's communication by listening to each other's emotional needs. By using the lens of the attachment, we help the couple to restore the emotional bond that has been hurt. With the help of the therapist, the couple is invited to better understand the importance of a secure bond and the expression of feelings. Strengthening the emotional connection and healthy bond in the couple serves as a better channel of communication (intimacy and trust) and helps partners to get to know themselves and each other better.
