● Drawing the concepts and ideas from the peer- reviewed journal article "Emotionally Focused Therapy: Attachment, connection, and Health, I intend to examine the integration of empirical findings into the Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) model (Greenman & Johnson, 2022). ● Emotionally Established Therapy (EFT) is paramount in creating secure emotional connections among couples.

Cr it ica l An A ly S is Articulation and Case Examples of Research-Informed Practices :  The article, authored by Greenman and Johnson, provides useful insights into empirical findings that foster the ideal principles aligned to Emotionally Established Therapy (EFT). In the article, a greater focus is directed toward the importance of attachment theory in navigating relationship issues and challenges. The authors demonstrate how relationship distress can be attributed to insecure attachment patterns. The article validates attachment styles during therapy sessions through the study's empirical findings.  According to Greenman & Johnson (2022), Emotionally Established Therapy (EFT) is paramount in creating secure emotional connections among couples. This is a better way of addressing conflict-related issues, thus building a strong, rich relationship. EFT practitioners can find the empirical evidence generated by the article more valuable in their practice areas. The empirical evidence serves as a guide toward the selection of more effective techniques and strategies that can be used to navigate relationship issues around couples.

C ASE Example Application of Emotionally Established Therapy (EFT)  In a case example, therapists in practice may engage the couples under therapy to explain their earlier experiences of feeling secure or loved. Using these memories, the therapist can establish patterns and styles of attachment and create a connection to the current situation. As a result, this instance promotes self-awareness while striving to apprehend the complexities among the couples.  Another case example is when the therapist, during sessions, forms an emotion-focused writing approach and allows couples to provide written experiences of their perspectives. With this, the therapist can understand recent conflicts among the individuals and determine specific attachment-related issues of unmet needs. Moreover, this approach allows the therapist to have an open dialogue with the clients and establish the expressions and emotions around them.
