Therapists who work with what happens between people
Emotionally-Focused Therapy reads distress through attachment - the pull to be close to someone, and what happens when that connection feels unsafe. This directory lists licensed and registered therapists who name it among their approaches. It is not about Emotional Freedom Techniques, the tapping practice that shares the abbreviation.
