OFFERED IN NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT WITH KELSEY GREENE, LMSW ​
Are You Feeling Disconnected in Your Relationships? Struggling with Communication or Emotional Distance?
You deserve to feel truly connected in your relationships—whether with a partner, family member, or close friend. But when emotional distance, poor communication, or unresolved conflict gets in the way, it can leave you feeling isolated, misunderstood, or stuck.
At Shifting Tides Psychotherapy, we offer Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a scientifically backed therapy designed to help you break through those barriers and create deeper, more fulfilling connections.
​
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?
EFT is a powerful, attachment-based approach that helps people understand and express their emotions more openly—without fear of judgment. The core idea behind EFT is that we all have fundamental emotional needs, and when these needs are not met, it can lead to distress, disconnection, and unhealthy patterns of behavior.
Whether you’re facing challenges in your romantic relationship, struggling with family dynamics, or feeling overwhelmed in your personal life, EFT offers a roadmap to help you and your loved ones communicate more effectively and reconnect emotionally.
How Does EFT Work?
EFT focuses on building secure emotional bonds between individuals. By identifying and shifting negative patterns, EFT helps people break free from conflict cycles and rediscover the emotional connection they’ve been longing for.
Through EFT, you’ll learn to:
-
Recognize underlying emotions: Understanding the root cause of conflict often involves identifying deep, vulnerable emotions that drive behavior.
-
Express your needs: Learn how to ask for what you need emotionally in a way that fosters connection rather than frustration or resentment.
-
Create deeper emotional bonds: EFT helps partners or family members rebuild trust, strengthen their attachment, and restore intimacy in their relationships.
-
Break destructive patterns: EFT helps you move beyond arguments and emotional shutdowns to create more constructive, empathetic interactions.
Who Can Benefit from EFT?
EFT is designed to help couples, families, and individuals strengthen their emotional connections. It’s especially effective for:
Couples feeling distant or trapped in negative patterns of communication: Whether you’re arguing more than usual, struggling with intimacy, or dealing with infidelity, EFT can help you break the cycle and rebuild trust.
Individuals seeking emotional healing or self-awareness: EFT isn’t just for couples—individuals can also benefit from understanding their emotions and attachment needs, whether they’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or unresolved emotional wounds.
