Abstract
Emotionally Focused Therapy seeks to build attunement and address attachment injuries that affect the quality of our relationships. This study attempts to explore the gendered perspective of attachment trauma that leads to emotional dysregulation in adult romantic relationships and the impact that emotionally focused therapy can have in building relationship satisfaction, where gender plays a role in shaping how we perceive and respond to these injuries. The findings, therefore, seek to emphasise how understanding the influence of gender can enhance therapeutic approaches.
