Emotionally Focused Therapy
Do you find it hard to control your emotions? Do your emotions often dictate your response? Do you wish you knew how to harness your emotions and move forward with your life feeling more connected relationally?
If you answered yes to any of the above, I encourage you to explore Emotionally Focused Therapy or EFT.
EFT is an approach to therapy treatment based on the premise that our emotions are a key to our identity and a guide for decision-making. When we lack awareness of our emotions or avoid unpleasant emotions, we are unable to use the information provided by these emotions.
EFT helps individuals to:
- Become more aware of their emotions
- Welcome, allow and regulate emotions
- Describe emotions clearly and in detail
- Evaluate whether the emotions are helpful or hurtful
- Identify the source of unhelpful emotions
- Develop alternative, healthy ways of engaging emotionally with self and others.
Unlike other therapeutic approaches, EFT assumes that emotion can be a source of healing and works with specific emotions to increase adaptation.
