What if your emotions weren't just something to manage, but a built-in guide to help you grow and thrive? That's the heart of emotion-focused therapy (EFT). This approach isn't about avoiding or controlling how you feel-it's about tuning in, understanding, and transforming your emotions so they work for you, not against you. Emotions have an incredible adaptive potential, and when you tap into that in a safe, supportive space, real and lasting change can happen.
This book dives deep into how EFT works: the history, the science, and the transformative process that makes it so effective. You'll learn about the key mechanisms that drive change, the latest research on emotional needs, and even how EFT is breaking new ground in treating anxiety. Whether you're curious about the theory or looking to refine your practice, this revised edition is packed with insights and tools to help you connect more deeply-with yourself and with others.
