Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotion-focused therapy is a research-proven therapy that has been gaining momentum in recent years. Its central principle emphasizes real and honest contact with difficult emotions that we all experience with the understanding that many times these emotions constitute a significant barrier and affect different areas of our lives. In this treatment we will come into contact with 'negative' emotions such as shame, anger and sadness and try to give space to different parts of us that react to these emotions. That way, we can understand the emotion better and be less controlled by it. Emotionally focused therapy allows us to remove barriers that prevent us from achieving certain goals and teaches us how to free ourselves from past patterns that are no longer adaptive for us. In the treatment we will combine diverse experiential techniques aimed at revitalizing internal conflicts in an open manner within the treatment, which is a significant catalyst for improving our emotional state. The emotional investigation is done gradually, illuminates hidden parts of the soul that motivate us and can lead to an improvement in the quality of life in a relatively short period of time. This treatment has been found to be effective in areas such as low self-worth, severe self-criticism, social anxiety, depression, and more.
