Trauma Focused Therapy Using Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) tackles trauma by addressing the underlying emotional needs and attachment issues that often arise from traumatic experiences.
In EFIT we'll work together to understanding your emotional core:
-
Trauma disrupts feelings of safety and security, leading to a complex web of emotions like fear, anger, and sadness. EFT focuses on helping individuals identify and acknowledge these emotions, rather than suppress them.
In our sessions together my non - judgmental and accepting stance can help you resolve trust and attachment issues:
-
Traumatic events can damage a person's sense of trust and belonging. EFT works on building secure attachment bonds within the therapeutic relationship. The therapist acts as a safe and supportive figure, providing a space where the individual can openly express their vulnerabilities and emotions.
-
By working together we can help you transform negative relationship patterns:
-
Trauma can lead to behavioral patterns that hinder healthy relationships. EFT will help you recognize these patterns and develop more constructive ways of communicating and interacting with others.
Emotion focused:
-
I help my clients access and express their underlying emotions, which might be hidden beneath layers of defense mechanisms. This allows for deeper processing and release of emotional burdens.
Benefits of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Trauma
-
Improved Emotional Regulation: My clients learn to manage overwhelming emotions in a healthier way, reducing the risk of emotional avoidance or numbing.
-
Enhanced Self-Awareness: By exploring their emotional responses, individuals gain a better understanding of themselves and their triggers.
-
Building Healthier Relationships: EFT equips individuals with the tools to build and maintain secure attachments, fostering stronger and more fulfilling relationships.
Do You Have Trust Issues in Your Relationship(s)?
Has something happened in your relationship(s) to make you lose trust?
If there has been infidelity in your relationship I would love to help you develop a plan for rebuilding trust or a plan to exit the relationship with courage.
Have you always struggled to trust?
I would love to help you identify underlying issues that are causing you to struggle with trust. Did you experience betrayal or infidelity in this or a past relationship? Do you have a fear of abandonment stemming from childhood chaos? Is something "off" but you can't quite put your finger on it?
Once you understand the root of the problem, you can start to work on addressing it. If you have a history of broken trust, it may be helpful to develop new ways of making your needs known.
