Emotionally focused therapy perceives a romantic relationship as an attachment bond whose intensity and depth are similar to that formed between a mother and child in early childhood. However, if partners begin to alienate each other and lose the feeling of a secure connection, it may be due to being trapped in a vicious cycle of negative reactions, often strongly influenced by the fear of losing the other. On the surface, this cycle manifests as repeated arguments with a similar script. The author calls this cycle 'devilish dialogues,' into which the couple repeatedly gets caught, where each partner repeats their negative relational pattern. Recognizing this pattern is the first step for partners to break free from this cycle, to identify each other's pain points, to learn to listen to each other's deeper emotions, to be there for one another again, and above all, to strengthen their mutual bond and vital emotional connection.

She is also the author of several popular science books on the topic of emotional attachment...
