Introduction to Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (E-FIT) builds on the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to create a secure connection within oneself rather than between partners. The therapy emphasizes understanding emotional experiences, validating them, and developing a safe therapeutic relationship that encourages exploration. This process allows clients to confront and integrate often hidden emotions, leading to personal growth and healing. E-FIT fosters a sense of trust in one's inner reality, giving clients tools to navigate distressing situations with confidence.
