Our Proven Approach: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

At Fowler and Tidwell, we are proud to offer Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—a highly researched and widely successful approach to couples therapy.


EFT is the gold standard for changing negative relationship patterns:

  • It Works: Research shows that 70-75% of couples who complete EFT move from distress to recovery, and approximately 90% show significant improvement.

  • It Lasts: Unlike therapies that just teach surface-level communication tips, EFT creates long-term change by restructuring the emotional bond itself. You'll not only stop fighting, but you will also learn how to truly connect and rely on each other.

  • It’s Focused: We don't spend time assigning blame. We focus on identifying the cycle of disconnection and teaching you how to turn toward each other for comfort and support.

Getting to the Heart of Relationship Challenges

We specialize in helping couples navigate the most common, yet most painful, issues that arise in a partnership:


1. Communication Breakdown & Perpetual Conflict
It's not about what you say, it's about how you feel when you say it. If every conversation turns into a fight or a silent standoff, we can help.

  • The Issue: The "Pursuer-Withdrawer" or "Attack-Defend" cycle that leaves both partners feeling unheard, frustrated, and alone.

  • The Solution: We guide you to slow down the cycle, understand the hidden emotional needs driving the arguments, and replace criticism with vulnerable, clear requests for connection. Our goal is to restore effective, authentic communication.


2. Healing from Infidelity and Trust Injuries
Betrayal is a deep relational wound, but it does not have to be the end. Healing takes courage, commitment, and a structured, safe therapeutic process.

  • The Issue: The profound pain of a broken promise, the erosion of trust, and the struggle to find solid ground after infidelity (emotional or physical).

  • The Solution: Using the proven stages of EFT, we create a safe space to process the trauma of the injury, understand the underlying relationship distress that made the relationship vulnerable, and actively work toward rebuilding a secure bond based on honesty and mutual understanding.


3. Misalignment in Parenting and Family Vision
Do you constantly argue over bedtime rules, school choices, or discipline? Differing approaches to raising children can leave you feeling like you are on opposite teams.

  • The Issue: Disagreements about rules, boundaries, and priorities that lead to intense parenting misalignment and undermines both parents' authority.

  • The Solution: We help you explore the values and fears that inform your individual parenting styles, move past criticism to collaboration, and create a unified, secure family vision that supports your children and your partnership.
