Emotionally Focused Therapy Tips
- Practice Vulnerability: Share fears and insecurities with loved ones in a safe setting, building trust.
- Active Listening: Focus on your partner’s or family member’s words without planning a rebuttal—validation is key.
- Recognize Patterns: Notice repetitive arguments or conflicts and discuss them openly to break the cycle.
- Seek Support Early: Don’t wait until conflicts or anxiety escalate; starting therapy sooner can prevent deeper rifts.
