Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based treatment for depression, trauma, anxiety, abuse, marital or familial distress, and unresolved relationship issues. In EFT, emotions are viewed as providing information about our needs, values, and goals. As a result of past experiences, emotions may have been learned to be ignored or dismissed. The focus of EFT is to use therapeutic interventions to observe, experience, explore, understand, and transform emotional experience. Through EFT sessions clients learn how to connect with their feelings in a healthy and adaptive way.
