As a Marriage and Family Therapist providing couples therapy in San Diego, the type of therapy I use is critical.  Not all types of therapy are created equal. As a couples therapist, it is important to use a theraputic method that is research based and effective. The best method I have found (and backed up by research) in working with my couples is called Emotionally Focused Therapy.  Not only does it help couples build stronger relationships and improve communication, it also gets high marks for improving sex lives as an added bonus.

The premise behind EFT is that sex is actually “emotion in motion” rather than some physical urge that needs to be fulfilled from time to time.  By improving the quality of the interpersonal connections between partners, sex life becomes dramatically more fun as well, which ultimately leads to a stronger relationship with a deeper and more meaningful bond. EFT techniques used for couples therapy in San Diego are shown to help couples in and out of the bedroom.

In Romantic Relationships, Sexuality and Attatchment are Intertwined

New research on the effectivness of Emotionally Focused Therapy shows that as the relationship bond improves during therapy, so does sexual satifsfaction. In a recent study at the University of Ottowa, researchers Stephanie Weibe and Cass Elliott used questionnaires asking couples to rate their sense of relationship security and sexual satisfaction. As a therapist who provides couples therapy in San Diego, these research outcomes are exciting and match what I see in my office everyday. As couples become happier in their relationship through therapy their sexual relationship improved in turn. These were not short term gains but lasting. In follow-up, researchers found couples’ satisfaction levels remained stable two years after couples completed Emotionally Focused Therapy.
