"Love is a constant process of tuning in, connecting, missing and misreading cues, disconnecting, repairing, and finding deeper connection. It is a dance of meeting and parting and finding each other again, minute by minute and day by day."

EFT is an evidence-based therapy that applies principles of attachment science while engaging with the power of emotional experience to promote healing, connection, and wellbeing in individuals and their relationships. Its primary developer is Dr. Sue Johnson.  For decades, EFT has been a gold-standard couples therapy backed by research that is effectively practiced with couples, families, and individuals. 

Fostering secure relationships with loved ones is extremely worthwhile. "Secure attachment has been linked in systematic research to almost every positive index of mental health and general wellbeing outlined in the social sciences." 

Individually, these benefits include "resilience in the face of stress, optimism, high self-esteem, confidence, and curiosity, tolerance for human differences, a sense of belonging, and the ability to self-disclose and be assertive, to tolerate ambiguity, to regulate difficult emotions, to engage in reflective metacognition, and to grasp different perspectives." 

Socially, these benefits include "a capacity for sensitive attunement to others, empathic responsiveness, compassion, openness to people who are perceived as different from oneself, and a tendency to altruistic action" (Johnson, 2019). 

In light of the vast array of benefits associated with secure attachments, "all the research agrees that a stable, loving relationship is the absolute cornerstone of human happiness and general wellbeing" (Johnson, 2013).
