Primary goals of therapy include identifying and changing problematic interpersonal relationships and improving self-image. Very early in life, people develop patterns in the way they relate to people close to them. These patterns persist into adulthood and affect the quality of current relationships, as well as self-image. Self-image affects how we think, feel, and behave, as well as how we take care of ourselves. As clients develop greater awareness and acceptance of themselves, their symptoms tend to subside and they experience decreased stress and an increased capacity for joy, creativity and fulfillment. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in my work with couples. This technique is based in attachment theory. The need for an attachment relationship continues from early childhood into adulthood. EFT helps couples to recognize, understand and respond to each other's emotional needs and sense of vulnerability.
