How It Works

When meeting with you for Individual Therapy, I want you to understand that you know your story better than anyone else, but I also know that when we live a life full of lying to ourselves and denying who we are, we also tend to lie about and deny our true emotions—often displaying a façade to the outside world—and this can be harmful not only to ourselves, but to everyone around us. This is why I work with individual clients using Emotionally Focused Therapy, for emotions are what drive our relationships and everything that we do.

Common issues addressed:

  • How to begin the Coming Out Journey

  • How to Navigate the Coming Out Journey as a lifelong process

  • How to accept oneself

  • How to be more vulnerable with others

  • How to be more comfortable with emotions

  • How to develop a healthier attachment style

  • How to live more authentically

EFIT

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy—or EFIT for short—is all about helping individuals learn how to be more vulnerable with their core emotions so that they can live more authentically with themselves and others. However, this is easier said than done because individuals who come in for therapy often struggle with differentiating between their primary and secondary emotions, and this tends to arise from being raised in an environment where it was not safe to express their attachment needs, so they were suppressed in order to protect themselves. Unfortunately, this is what leads to developing an unhealthy attachment style, which causes it to be difficult to live an authentic life. That being said, EFIT helps individuals learn how to express their attachment needs by teaching them how to move past their secondary emotions and uncover their primary emotions. If you want to learn how to develop a healthier attachment style so that you can begin living a more authentic life, please call or text me (Jeremiah) at (949) 524-9362 today.
