​Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy

​(EFIT)


Delving into Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) feels a bit like uncovering the hidden currents of a river – it's about understanding what shapes our present emotional flow. EFIT offers a  therapeutic experience to not only recognize your inner emotional landscape but also reshape it, leading to a more centered life. We work to develop and consolidate new emotional patterns, leaving you with a more secure and flexible way of being ("emotional agility") for navigating life's ups and downs.

The International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy describes EFIT this way:

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is a groundbreaking therapeutic model that facilitates emotional processing and the creation of secure relationships with self and others. Originating from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, EFIT adapts these principles for individual therapy, offering a structured approach to help individuals address various challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems...

EFIT is an attachment science-based approach to individual therapy that...offers ways to reshape and make sense of inner experience and relational interventions focused on reshaping patterns of engagement with significant others and the individual as a younger self. Emotion is given precedence across treatment modalities given its powerful role in structuring both inner experience and motivation and key interactional patterns in relationships. Emotion links and organizes core experience and interaction.

Goals:
  • To offer corrective experiences that positively impact models of self and other and shape stable, lasting change.
  • To offer transformative moments where vulnerability is encountered with balance and difficult moments befriended.
  • To enable clients to move into the openness, responsiveness and full engagement that characterizes secure attachment with others.
  • To enable clients to shape a coherent sense of a competent self that can deal with existential life issues and become a fully alive human being.



The capacity to center is the ability to:
be aware of
and direct 
one's constrictive
and expansive
possibilities.
