Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT) is an attachment-based, experiential therapeutic approach designed to help clients access, explore, and reorganize key emotional experiences that influence patterns of behavior and intrapersonal functioning. Rooted in attachment theory and humanistic principles, EFIT emphasizes the role of emotion as a primary driver of meaning-making and as a pathway to psychological change.
EFIT supports clients in identifying and understanding emotional processes that contribute to distress, including protective strategies such as withdrawal, self-criticism, or heightened reactivity. Through present-focused, experiential interventions, clients develop increased emotional awareness, the capacity to regulate affect, and a clearer understanding of unmet attachment needs underlying their symptoms.
EFIT is applicable to a wide range of presenting concerns, including trauma-related symptoms, depression, anxiety, relational distress, and disruptions in self-worth or identity. The approach aims to enhance emotional balance, foster compassionate self-organization, and promote long-term psychological resilience.
