Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is groundbreaking work that helps renew trust and intimacy within your relationship, deepen your emotional connection and closeness with one another, and create a secure base for both people to flourish.
The intensive private and personalized structure provides full one-on-one EFT guidance from Peggie Dickens, a trained EFT couples counselor, over either a two or three-day format. Spending personalized private time together like this in intensive couple therapy can be deep life-changing work that helps kick start your marriage and take it to new levels of emotional connectivity.
Similar to 12 weeks of couples therapy, the one-on-one intensive format is ideal for couples wanting to go to a deep place in their relationship in a short amount of time. The EFT format focuses on:
- moving you out of negative cycles that keep you feeling stuck and alone
- making sense of your own and your partner’s emotions
- forgiving injuries that keep you from really opening up with your partner
- communicating your emotional needs for connection
-establishing a secure and intimate bond for one another
EFT retreats typically span a 2- or 3-day weekend, however, the nature of intensives allows for great flexibility in duration and scheduling. For those couples seeking ongoing support, or periodic check-ins, that is an option that is always available, either in person or electronically.
EFT retreats are typically held on Bainbridge Island, Washington and in Sun Valley, Idaho. The flexibility of intensives, however, allows for alternate locations to be accommodated.
