What is Emotion-Focused Therapy?
Healing with heartfelt support: heal the root of emotional pain with EFT
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a form of talk therapy that enhances your emotional intelligence and grows your self-soothing abilities, which can help you solve problems, manage your behavior, and work through emotions or intense feeling states. Not to be confused with Emotionally-Focused Therapy, a couples therapy approach, EFT is an individual therapy that helps you reach a deeper level of self-connection and develop a felt sense of wholeness within yourself.
Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth in uglier ways
-Freud
