Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach that addresses the emotional underpinnings of addiction. This therapeutic model emphasizes understanding and processing emotions to promote healing and behavioral change. In addiction treatment, EFT helps individuals explore unresolved emotional pain, such as shame, guilt, or grief, which often drives substance use. By fostering emotional awareness and self-compassion, EFT enables clients to build healthier coping mechanisms. Interpersonal techniques, such as validating experiences and strengthening emotional bonds, are key components of this approach. EFT not only aids in reducing addictive behaviors but also enhances overall emotional well-being, making it a valuable tool in comprehensive addiction care.
