Overview:

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy is a therapeutic model derived from Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and creatively applies it to work with individual clients. In this presentation, participants will learn about the theoretical foundations of the model. Participants will also begin to understand how therapists help the client access primary emotions in session and co-create corrective emotional experiences. Finally, participants will begin to learn about how these corrective experiences can then be applied to the client's model of self and other.

Learning Objectives:

1. Name the theoretical foundations of Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
2. Describe how EFIT creates corrective emotional experiences for the client between the client and therapist
3. Describe how EFIT integrates corrective emotional experiences into the client's model of self and other
