“We can help people create this bond...and when we do that, it changes the safety of their world. ”
This brain scan study on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) shows the science and biology of love. After just 20 sessions of EFT, fMRI scans showed a drastic change in brain activity when presented with the threat of physical pain. The brain literally changed how it perceived the threat of danger because of the safety felt through a secure emotional bond with a partner; that is how greatly positive attachment and bonding affects us. This study also shows that this strong bond can be created: you and your partner can learn how to have a strong and secure bond that keeps you both safe from danger.
