Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy for couples that helps couples get better understanding and accepting their emotions, to be vulnerable in communicating those emotions to each other, and to get better at validating and supporting their partners. A challenge that therapists often face when working with military clients who are in committed relationships is deciding when to address relationship issues in individual therapy and when to refer your client to couples therapy. In this episode, certified EFT therapist Liz Polinksy share some actionable intel related to her work with military couples.
Elizabeth Polinsky, LCSW, RMFT, is a military marriage counselor in Norfolk Virginia. She comes from a military family and is now a military spouse—experiences that have led to her passion for helping military couples navigate the unique challenges of military life.
