EFT vs. EFIT

If you’re new to Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), you may be wondering what the difference is between EFT and EFIT. Emotionally Focused Therapy, or EFT, is a humanistic psychotherapy approach drawing from attachment theory to help individuals, couples, or families identify, manage, address an array of issues (ICEEFT, n.d.1). On the other hand, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, or EFIT, is a therapeutic modality that draws from EFT  theory, techniques, and interventions but it primarily focuses on individual therapy (ICEEFT, n.d.2), oppose to couples or families.

The pioneer of EFT and EFIT is the late Dr. Sue Johnson, who developed EFT in the early 1980s. She later adapted EFT for individuals, and created the EFIT modality (Johnson, n.d.). Leanne Campbell, who worked closely with Dr. Johnson, together co-developed EFT educational programs, resources, and even co-authored the first EFIT textbook. (Campbell, n.d.)
