Do you ever feel like you are falling into the same vicious circle in your relationship? Are you and your significant other constantly arguing about the same issues? Do you want to find out what’s not working and make changes for the better?
Consider using the “EFT Infinity Loop” to help your relationship. The Infinity Loop is part of Emotionally Focused Therapy, an evidence-based theory used in couple’s therapy. Scott Woolley, PhD, first introduced the infinity loop to help couples identify the negative cycles they are stuck in – that is, negative habits and patterns that perpetuate feelings of disconnection, misunderstanding and dissatisfaction. Identifying and communicating these cycles’ helps each partner gain a deeper understanding of one another. It is a great tool to help couples have less argumentative and more effective conversations.
The infinity loop is most effective when you share each step with your partner. This gives your most important person a better understanding of what is happening underneath or inside. You can also learn about how your partner is feeling and what he or she is looking for in the relationship. Having this newly acquired knowledge can open up the communication needed to understand one another better. Then, both you and your partner can work together to change and improve your behaviors and your relationship.
