Dr. Sue Johnson’s article originally written for Psychology Today which explains what Emotional Focused Therapy is.

Can you be too connected? Have you ever wondered, in the midst of your relationship, if you are too dependent on your partner? What if your loved one makes you happier when they are around? What if you miss them when they are gone? What if they are the first person you seek with both good and bad news? Is this healthy?

Does it seem like you and your partner have the same fight over and over again? Socks on the floor, spending habits, where you’ll celebrate Thanksgiving this year… these fights tend to repeat themselves…. Choose a partner based on the kind of arguments you’re willing to have for a long, long time.

Right. Now.

The right time is right now. If either partner is considering counseling… If either partner is wishing the relationship could be better… If either or both partners are feeling unsatisfied or unheard or unhappy, the time for counseling is now. Why?
