Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) is the model that appeals to me most for both individual and group marital therapy. According to Johnson (2007), “A focus on emotional processing in the present moment, on process factors and on genuine empathic connection with both clients is at the heart of the model” (p. 47). It has been my experience over many years that EFT has achieved optimum outcomes where emotional abuse has been experience in multifaceted circumstances.
Probably emotional neglect or the lack of adequately nurturing is the least recognized and validated for of developmental or marital abuse. Looking at attachment style can often help you to understand how this neglect occurred and what you need to heal. Maybe negative thoughts intrude on your thought process. There are many approaches that work for this, depending upon your needs.
The approaches I use with emotional abuse include: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Emotional abuse is one of the hardest types of abuse to spot in current times. It may go unrecognized by friends, family, and a lot of times even by the victim. When we start to finally feel these things it has already begun to hit us very hard. Let me help you to understand why this has happened to you, show you how to learn from it, and create a new positive outlook.
