EFT is a cutting edge, rigorously studied, highly effective couples therapy. In fifteen years of research it have been shown that  between 75-85 percent of couples that have gone through EFT recover from distress and are happy in their relationships. Whereas other forms of couple therapy have been shown in studies to be only about 35 percent effective in healing relationships. The central message of EFT is simple: "Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, making grand romantic gestures, or experimenting with new sexual positions.  Instead, get to the emotional under-pinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are emotionally attached (a fundamental mammalian wired-in trait) and dependent on your partner." Through EFT you will learn to be open, attuned, and responsive  to each other and to reestablish emotional connection.

EFT is  also growing in effectiveness as a grounding principle and tool in individual psychotherapy and in practical use in family therapy.
