Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Emotionally Focused therapy (EFT) approaches healing from the belief that emotions are strongly linked to identity. Emotions guide us in defining preferences and making decisions on a daily basis. EFT assumes that:

• Lack of emotional awareness is harmful
• Avoiding your emotions can lead to negative outcomes in your life
• Over time, ignoring or avoiding your emotional response may alter your ability to process emotions later on

A therapist trained in emotion-focused therapy can help you to gain awareness of your emotions and understand them. These professionals can offer you coping strategies for facing and managing your emotions.
