The course will familiarize the student with EFIT an attachment-based psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and transform negative emotional patterns to build more secure sense of self and others. EFIT integrates the core principles of attachment theory, humanistic-experiential methods, and emotion theory to help individuals. As an empirically validated approach, it was customized to work with individuals through a series of three stages: Stabilization & Alliance; Restructuring Self & Attachment; and Consolidation and Integration. Through a focus on experiential–systemic therapy, EFIT works to create greater self-coherence and emotional flexibility with individual clients.
