Treatment methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use it to focus on emotions, because they are powerful drivers of behavior. I also incorporate attachment theory, which explains our drive for safety and connection in relationships. It can help people communicate more productively, and also help create empathy. A tool I use is the TEMPO tool to help process feelings and trauma.
