EFT is considered a short-term therapy with an average of around 18-20 sessions. However, depending on the couple, the history, the length of time entrenched in negative patterns, and especially if one or both have trauma, EFT can take considerably longer. Each couple is unique, and no one has a crystal ball to know exactly how long it will take, but you and your EFT therapist will consider together the needs and collaborate on when you feel ready to spread out and taper off visits.
