What does Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) look like?

What does Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) look like? Let's craft a brief snapshot of a session to provide a glimpse. It might unfold something like this: Therapist: "You were in a sea of pain and fear. That's overwhelming, isn't it? Nobody did anything. You felt like you didn't matter, all alone. Can you feel the fear? Where does it burn?" Client: "I don't know. It burns in my chest." Therapist: "Here. Everything was so strange and terrifying. We don't have words when we're little. How could you do anything but go still, rigid, and numb? That saved your life, didn't it?" Client: "Yeah. I guess it did. But I can't live there anymore. It's strange to let myself feel." Therapist: "Do you have a word for the feeling now? You were talking about your mother and how she didn't protect you. Could you help me understand the burn, the feeling? Is it sharp or angry?" Client: "I think it's just sadness." Therapist: "Yes. Huge sadness. A heartbreak underneath what you call depression. For all you longed for and needed but didn't get, for how alone and scared you were." Client: "Yes." Therapist: "Could you see her face, your mother's face? If she was here, could you tell her?" Client: "I might say you pretended you left the room. I wasn't crazy or bad. I was small, and you let it happen again and again. I had no one. I feel this desolation." Therapist: "Yes, desolation. We've talked to that little girl, haven't we? The one who was so alone, small, terrified, and defenceless. You've found ways to keep her safe inside of you. You held onto your truth, and now you're speaking it. You're here talking to me with courage and strength. What's happening for you right now? Can you see that little one, so desolate? What would the strong, brave older you say to her?" Client: "I think I would say, 'I am with you now. I can see you. This pain and fear are not all of you. I found you, and we will make it through.'" #EFIT #TherapySession #EmotionalHealing #InnerStrength #CourageToFeel #SelfDiscovery #HealingJourney #EFITSnapshot
