Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) extends to couples a place to explore what hurts and implement what works, all the while
processing old emotional wounds that have created this scary place clients often find themselves in.
There is an inherent paradox in all this: Every marriage / relationship has the potential to help each person grow beyond their individual limitations; and every marriage / relationship is a potential minefield dotted
with old emotional wounds that can keep couples mired in negative patterns.

those old emotional wounds into your future relationships.

old emotional wounds, insecurities, high standards, and negative beliefs.
