*EFT is based upon the assumption that a focus on emotional experience & interpersonal interactions,
and how they evoke each other, is necessary for second-order change in couples therapy.
-Emotions and Interactions impact each other, and vice versa
*Emotions are the context for - and give meaning to - interactions, and interactions are context for
emotional responses.
*The reprocessing, regulation, or modification of affect may then be the most powerful & efficient way
to change the organization of a system.
