EFIT: Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals

The power of EFT is now being applied to individuals! As the ICEEFT website states:

EFIT is an attachment science-based approach to individual therapy that, like the other EFT interventions, EFCT for couples and EFFT for families, offers an integration of humanistic experiential interventions focused on reshaping intrapsychic experience and systemic interventions focused on reshaping patterns of engagement with significant others. 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.

  • To enable clients to move into the accessibility/openness, responsiveness and full engagement that characterises 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.
