Through emotion-focused Therapy (EFT), clients learn to rule their emotions, instead of letting their emotions rule them.
With guidance from a skilled EFT therapist to help them identify, experience, accept, and tolerate difficult emotions, people can learn to regulate, explore, make sense of, transform, and flexibly manage their emotions. As a result, they are able to respond adaptively to situations as they arise.
EFT therapists help individuals and couples engage in productive emotional processing. They also offer methods to help clients become aware of their emotional needs.
In this book, Leslie S. Greenberg and Rhonda N. Goldman have gathered experts to offer a comprehensive tour of EFT research and applications for all common mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, interpersonal trauma, personality disorders, and eating disorders.
Readers will learn to:
conceptualize clients' core emotions in order to form a focus of therapy
guide clients through the process of emotional change
structure therapy in an ongoing fashion
recognize key emotional markers
facilitate the tasks needed to move to the next phase
