Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy treatment based on the premise that our emotions are a key to our identity and a guide for decision making. When we lack awareness of our emotions or avoid unpleasant emotions, we are unable to use the information provided by these emotions.

EFT helps individuals to:

• Become more aware of their emotions
• Welcome, allow and regulate emotions
• Describe emotions clearly and in detail
• Evaluate whether the emotions are helpful or hurtful
• Identify the source of unhelpful emotions
• Develop alternative, healthy ways of coping with situations that often elicit hurtful emotions

Unlike other therapeutic approaches, EFT assumes that emotion can be a source of healing and works with specific emotions to increase adaptation.
