Therapeutic approach
EFTEmotion-Focused & Experiential Therapy
Works with emotions and the body as a guide to healing — drawing on emotion focused therapy (EFT) and somatic, body-based approaches.
Key information you should know
- Works with emotions and the body, including emotion focused therapy (EFT) and somatic approaches.
- Treats feelings and bodily experience as central to healing and change.
- Often used for trauma, attachment difficulties, and relationship concerns.
Emotion-focused and experiential therapies treat emotions and bodily experience as important sources of information and change. Succoris psychologists may use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic approaches, or both.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you access, understand, and work with emotions, especially in relationships and attachment. You learn to engage with feelings in ways that support healing, not only analyse them intellectually.
Somatic therapy integrates body awareness and nervous system regulation. Attention to sensation, tension, and activation can help when distress is held in the body as well as in thoughts.
These methods are often used for trauma, attachment difficulties, and relationship concerns. Your clinician will discuss what fits your goals.
