What Does EFT Therapy Look Like?

Emotionally Focused  Therapy (𝗘𝗙𝗧) or Emotionally Focused Therapy  is  an experimental, humanistic, and systematic psychotherapy modality developed in the 1980s. 𝗘𝗙𝗧 takes  attachment theory as its foundation Foundation, prioritization and viewing emotions as important resources for change.

𝗘𝗙𝗧 was originally designed for couples therapy but has been expanded to individual therapy and family therapy. 𝗘𝗙𝗧 identifies and regulates emotions in each individual while also identifying and regulating interactions between individuals and those important to them.

In addition to supporting troubled relationships, 𝗘𝗙𝗧 can also help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and personal trauma.

𝗘𝗙𝗧 guides clients to connect with their most basic emotions and needs; identify and break out of negative interaction patterns; build more effective interaction patterns and improve relationships with the important people in life. Therapist 𝗘𝗙𝗧 supports clients to discover their own inner strength while receiving help from surrounding attachment models.

With a foundation in attachment theory, 𝗘𝗙𝗧 delves into clients’ relationships with past attachment patterns. 𝗘𝗙𝗧 therapy sessions take place slowly with many related questions. The client will need to stay with his or her feelings. Thanks to slowness, 𝗘𝗙𝗧 has the ability to create profound and lasting changes, so that clients have a new view of themselves and the world.
