What Is Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy?

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is a structured form of therapy rooted in the science of attachment. Developed from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - traditionally used for couples - EFIT adapts the principles of EFT to the individual context. EFIT views emotions as forces that can be harnessed for self-understanding and growth to provide a transformative approach to healing.

In EFIT, emotions are not viewed as symptoms to be managed but as valuable sources of information and agents of change. The therapy encourages exploring and making sense of our emotional experiences, particularly those that are painful or confusing. This exploration helps in identifying recurring emotional patterns that may be rooted in past experiences and are impacting current functioning.

The effects of EFIT are multi-dimensional, ranging from improved emotional regulation to enhanced self-awareness and healthier relationships. EFIT is an approach that offers a unique perspective on individual therapy. It’s an invitation to a journey of emotional discovery and transformation, grounded in the science of attachment and the power of emotions.
