Emotion Focused Therapy Approach in Few Words! |
|
|
- Changing emotions is seen as central to the origins and treatment of human problems, but this does not mean that working with emotions is all that is focused on in EFT.
- EFT in practice, ultimately adopts an integrative focus on motivation, cognition, behavior, and interaction.
- In EFT, the focus is on people's emotions as the primary source of human functioning and dysfunction to change in therapy and to promote healthy coupling and living.
- Key to practice is the importance of empathic attunement to affect, distinguishing between primary and secondary, and adaptive (healthy) and maladaptive (unhealthy) emotions, and following the pain compass to get to the client's chronic, enduring painful emotion.
- Thereafter, the main tasks are to facilitate productive emotional processing, promote the transformation of maladaptive (unhealthy) emotion, and create new and more salutary narrative.

General model of Emotion Focused Therapy approach is based on that: - Emotions are an adaptive orienting system and a source of information about thoughts, feelings, action readiness, motivations, and interpersonal interactions.
- Client experiencing (attention to and exploration of feelings and meanings) is the primary source of new information in therapy (as opposed to skills training, challenging maladaptive thoughts or interpretations).
