Mukti Jarvis Emotionally Focused Therapist

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

EFT is an experiential therapy that looks at your relationship as a system and an important emotional attachment bond. It is a well-researched scientific model of romantic relationships (Johnson, 2019). It has been validated by outcome research (Wiebe & Johnson, 2016) to provide evidence that it  successfully helps couples repair relationship distress and improve relationship satisfaction with long-term success. EFT has a 75% success rate. 90% of those who don’t complete the full process, report an improvement in their relationship. EFT has three sequential stages: 

  1. De-escalating your friction disconnection/ distancing cycle; 
  2. Restructuring your bond; 
  3. Integrating your new flow/ positive cycle 

Years after completing this process couples report their relationship is increasingly loving and resilient. EFT is relevant for all relationships.

Mukti’s self-paced Back To Love Online Course will help you start on #1 above. You can take that first step from home!

What is NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION (NVC)?

NVC is simple and empowering way of reframing how you relate, so that you feed the positive cycle of connection in your relationship. Rather than the negative cycle. NVC leads to a continual deepening of emotional intimacy and connection. It starts by helping you make sense of yourself every day, interaction by interaction. It guides you to truly understand your partner. It also teaches you how to build trust for each other.

With NVC you learn to clearly hear and respond to your own deeper needs and those of others. Through its emphasis on deep empathic listening—to yourself as well as others—NVC helps you bring compassion into your relationship.

Even if only one of you learns NVC, it can help you have better interactions.

You can begin know how to build compassion and connection in your relationship, through Mukti’s self-paced  Connection Essentials Online Course today!

WHAT IS CHI FOR TWO?

Chi for Two is a mindful embodiment method approved by ISMETA, which means it emphasises a natural, body-centered way of relating to yourself and others.

So instead of reacting from thoughts about what you should, have to, or must do—that are responses that are driven by pressure or conditioning; Chi for Two helps you relate from the ‘play-dance’ energy of get to! Enabling you to get to be your authentic, uninhibited self.

As Chi For Two includes what can’t be put into words, it is incredibly efficient and deeply transformative. It complements traditional relationship talk-based models, to bring fresh wholeness to your mind, body, and Self.
