They are having the same argument in a hundred costumes. One pushes, the other pulls away. The louder one gets, the quieter the other, and in the end both feel alone. This pattern has a name, and you can work on it.<\/p><p>Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is one of the best-researched approaches in couples therapy. Its starting point: behind the same recurring accusations there are usually no incompatible characters, but questions of attachment. Do I matter to you? Can I rely on you? Will you come when I need you? As long as those questions stay open, a couple argues about dishes, phones, and in-laws. In EFT we work on the questions underneath.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61ebe1c e-con-full e-flex e-con

not look for who is at fault, we look for the pattern. First we make the cycle visible that you are both stuck in \u2013 who reacts to what, and what each of you actually feels underneath the anger, underneath the withdrawal. Then we change the conversations themselves: away from the accusation, towards what lies beneath it and has not been said so far. Those are often the moments when couples really hear each other for the first time in years.<\/p><p>The third step makes the new thing hold in everyday life, so the connection stays intact when the next conflict comes. Conflicts do not disappear. They lose their explosive force once both of you know that the bond holds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e257c26 elementor-align-left elementor-mobile-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"e257c26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/patricia-heinis.de\/en\/book-an-appointment\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"Ebene_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 30 18\" xml:space=\"preserve\"> <g> <path d=\"M21,18c-0.6,0-1-0.4-1-1c0-0.3,0.1-0.5,0.3-0.7L27.6,9l-7.3-7.3c-0.4-0.4-0.4-1,0-1.4s1-0.4,1.4,0l8,8c0.4,0.4,0.4,1,0,1.4 l-8,8C21.5,17.9,21.3,18,21,18z\"><\/path> <path d=\"M21,10H1c-0.6,0-1-0.4-1-1s0.4-1,1-1h20c0.6,0,1,0.4,1,1S21.6,10,21,10z\"><\/path> <\/g> <\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book an appointment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c17480 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6c17480\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d740dd5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d740dd5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65b829b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65b829b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Who EFT Fits \u2013 and Who It Fits Less Well<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-314b19e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"314b19e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>EFT fits couples who still mean something to each other and still cannot find their way back.
