How Can EFIT Therapy Help Me?

Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy can help empower you to process, understand, and manage your feelings effectively! EFIT helps you understand the power of your emotions, and provides tools that you can use when needed to calm the turbulent emotions inside. EFIT is a holistic approach that focuses on understanding and healing the root causes of your emotional distress, in order to promote long-lasting change and emotional healing. 

How Does EFIT Therapy Work?

Emotion Focused Individual Therapy starts with an initial consultation to make sure that EFIT is the right fit for your needs. Following this, a personalized treatment plan is created in the first session. Both you and your therapist collaborate to identify specific emotional triggers that are causing you distress. Once these stressors are identified, you will gradually confront these situations while learning to avoid engaging in the harmful emotional responses that happen in response. In therapy, we will guide you through the emotional processing exercises to help you understand your emotional landscape and manage the resulting emotional expressions in a better way. EFIT uses exposure exercises and emotional processing techniques to help you understand why these difficult emotional responses can happen. Ultimately, you will be able to use coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety without resorting to harmful behaviours. When you have developed positive coping mechanisms, therapists then assist in creating a relapse prevention plan to maintain progress and help you navigate future situations with success.

If You're Thinking About EFIT Therapy, You Might Have Some Questions. Maybe You're Wondering…

  • Absolutely! EFIT provides a supportive environment where you can explore and understand your emotions at your own pace. Our therapists are here to help you develop effective ways to express and communicate your feelings, leading to greater self-awareness and emotional insight.

  • While EFIT therapy is generally safe and effective, it's essential to recognize that delving into emotions can sometimes bring up discomfort or temporary emotional distress. However, these challenges are part of the therapeutic process and are carefully managed by skilled therapists to ensure your well-being and growth throughout your journey.

  • EFIT therapy can enhance interpersonal relationships and communication by fostering greater self-awareness of emotional triggers and patterns, helping you express your feelings more effectively, and providing tools to navigate conflicts and interactions with empathy and understanding.
