Emotionally Focused–Carl Rogers developed a radical idea more than 50 years ago that we are as much, or more, emotional beings as acting ones. That, in fact, our emotions, known or unknown, precede and instruct our actions. Prior to that John Bowlby developed a twist to psychodynamic theory that focused on the importance of being able to develop a sense of secure attatchment and interdependence with others.
Sue Johnson has combined these into EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY. This therapy and my general approach is based on the fact that an adult relationship is attachment based not a set of negotiated behaviors and thoughts.
Communication, negotiations, agreements –these are necessary skills to learn and practice. The necessary foundation for them is to truly hear and trust each other. Research has shown this approach to work more deeply and longer than other relationship approaches.
An approach that focuses on how people experience and react to their own perceptions and emotions and how they send and receive them with their partner.
