Emotionally Focused Therapy: Toronto Registered EFT Couple Therapist

The degree of satisfaction with sex, romance and passion is determined by the quality of the couple's friendship.

Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer yes to most or all of these questions it indicates your relationship may be in trouble.

Do you find talking things over seems useless?
Do you try to solve problems on your own?
Are you or your partner sarcastic with one another?
Do you seem to lead parallel lives?
Do you feel lonely?
Do attempts to repair hurt seem to backfire?
Is your sex life unfulfilling?
Do either of you feel frequently criticized by the other?
Do you feel blamed or find yourself feeling defensive?

Changing The Symptoms

These symptoms can be understood and can change. Both partners are in their own way responsible for what happens between them. Both can learn to understand why they do what they do, and how it impacts on their partner.

If you sense your relationship has recurring destructive patterns, couple therapy can help you.

Do not seek Couple Therapy if there is ongoing violence in the relationship or severe depression in one or both partners. In such cases, we recommend individual psychotherapy. Contact the Psychotherapy Referral Service at 416-920-0655.
