A powerful eight-week therapy that helps clients with low emotional effectiveness!
An eight-week transdiagnostic protocol that helps clients develop skills in emotional awareness, mindful acceptance, mindful coping, and values-based action through exposure.
Emotional effectiveness is the ability to experience the full range of emotions and respond to them consciously. Most often, people do not want to experience negative emotions, trying to avoid pain and control it through maladaptive behavioral responses. Unfortunately, this only increases suffering. Emotional Effectiveness Therapy (EET) teaches how to endure pain, soften emotions when necessary, and make choices based on one's values. By observing their emotions, the patient learns emotional surfing and also discovers how to identify the point of choice - the moment to either consciously accept the situation or react to it with values-based action. Emotional Effectiveness Therapy helps clients with low emotional effectiveness improve emotional regulation and live mindfully.
