Using The Gottman Techniques, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems Theory, I work with couples and families, as these stand as invaluable frameworks and evidenced based interventions. They offer distinct approaches to address relational dynamics.
The Gottman Techniques, developed through extensive research on couples' interactions, emphasize communication, emotional connection, and conflict resolution. These techniques provide practical tools to enhance communication skills, manage conflicts constructively, and strengthen the emotional bond between partners.
Emotionally Focused Therapy concentrates on fostering secure emotional connections within relationships by delving into underlying emotional patterns and attachment needs. EFT guides individuals and couples to recognize and express their emotions, leading to greater understanding, empathy, and intimacy.
Family Systems Theory, sees the family as an intricate social system where members interact to mutually shape each other's actions. These interconnections among family members lend themselves to a holistic perspective of the system, emphasizing its entirety rather than focusing solely on individual components. This approach enriches the family system by recognizing the interconnectedness of family dynamics, enabling us to navigate challenges, rebuild trust, and nurture healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
