Your match is ready. Her name is Lesley, and I think you’ll both see why I picked her.

Tonight 1:12 AM
We love each other, that’s not the issue. But when things get hard I chase and he stonewalls, and we both end up alone in the same house.
Chase and stonewall is the most common dance couples get caught in, and it has a name for a reason: it’s the pattern, not either of you. EFT was built precisely to change that dance. Want me to find someone trained in it?
Yes. Someone who won’t just referee. We can fight fine on our own.
No refereeing, promised. Lesley L., LMFT. EFT trained, fifteen years of couples work, and her whole method is catching the dance in the room and slowing it down. Evening openings this week. Want me to introduce you both?

How matching works

Your conversations become your match.

Everything you tell Abby, the dance you get stuck in, who chases and who walls up, when you’re both free, becomes the search. You never fill out a form.

I chase, he stonewalls
Alone together in the same house
The fight is never about the dishes
Don’t referee us, change the dance
We love each other, that’s not it
Evenings, together on video
Why do we keep doing this exact loop?
We want to reach each other again

Good to know

Emotionally Focused Therapy, explained.

EFT is the couples approach with the strongest research base in the field. Here is the idea underneath it.

The dance, not the dancersEFT’s core move is reframing: the enemy isn’t your partner, it’s the cycle you’re both caught in. Chase and withdraw, criticize and defend, each step triggering the next. Name the dance, slow it down in the room, and both people finally step out of it together.
Underneath the fightEvery repeated fight carries an attachment question underneath: are you there for me, do I matter to you. EFT gets under the surface argument to that question, and when partners finally hear it asked directly, the whole tone of the relationship changes.
What the research showsEFT has the strongest outcome data in couples therapy: roughly 70 to 75 percent of couples move from distress to recovery in trials, with gains that hold years later. The formal arc runs about 8 to 20 sessions. It also has individual and family formats.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does Abby match us with an EFT therapist?

You tell Abby the pattern you two get stuck in, who chases, who goes quiet. She learns the dance, your styles, and your schedule and budget, then brings you a shortlist of EFT-trained therapists with the reason each one fits you both.

What is EFT in plain words?

A couples therapy built on attachment science. The premise: your repeated fight is a cycle you’re both caught in, driven by the question underneath, do I matter to you. EFT slows the cycle in the room and rebuilds the connection under the conflict.

Is EFT the same as tapping?

No. Emotionally Focused Therapy is the research-backed couples approach. Emotional Freedom Technique, the tapping method, shares the initials only. This page, and Abby’s matching, is the couples therapy.

How long does EFT take?

The formal arc runs about 8 to 20 sessions, and couples usually feel the cycle loosen well before the end. Trials show roughly 70 to 75 percent of distressed couples recover, with results that hold at follow-up.

What if my partner won’t come?

Start anyway. EFT has an individual format, and one partner changing their steps genuinely changes the dance. Partners also often join once therapy stops being hypothetical. Tell Abby the situation and she’ll match for it.

Can we use insurance?

Tell Abby you want to use insurance and she factors it into the match, along with budget, sliding scale, or self-pay if that’s simpler. You’ll know how a therapist handles payment before you ever book.

Does the therapist see our conversations with Abby?

No. Nothing is shared unless you approve it word for word. If you want, Abby can prepare a short intro about your cycle so the first session starts ahead, and you both review it first.
