Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
Attachment theory offers profound insights into the dynamics of human relationships, illuminating the bonds formed between individuals from infancy through adulthood. At its core, attachment theory suggests that early experiences with caregivers shape our emotional regulation, sense of security, and patterns of relating to others throughout our lives. By understanding our attachment style—whether secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—we gain valuable insights into our relational patterns and needs.
One therapeutic approach that integrates attachment theory principles is Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). EFIT aims to help individuals identify and understand their attachment patterns, exploring how these patterns impact their current relationships and emotional well-being. Through a compassionate and collaborative process, EFIT guides individuals in reshaping their internal working models of relationships, fostering greater security, trust, and emotional resilience. By deepening self-awareness and enhancing interpersonal skills, EFIT empowers individuals to cultivate more fulfilling and satisfying connections with themselves and others, laying the foundation for lasting emotional growth and relational fulfillment.
