This video explores Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), a therapeutic approach that views emotions as central to human experience. EFT helps clients become aware of, accept, and transform their emotions. The therapy combines following the client’s emotional process with guiding them through tasks like resolving unresolved feelings or self-criticism. By focusing on bodily responses and synthesizing emotions (e.g., turning shame into healthy anger), EFT fosters deep emotional change. The process is non-linear, emphasizing experiential over intellectual understanding, and aims to help clients transform core painful emotions.

In the first therapy session, Dr. Elisabeth Kaiser meets patient Willemijn, who has been referred to her because she is struggling with mental health issues. During this initial session, Elisabeth gets to know Willemijn through a questionnaire to gain insight into her background and current emotional state. Elisabeth compares this process to visiting a general practitioner to identify the origins of specific symptoms. This is to find out where her trauma(s) are coming from.

In this second session, Elisabeth starts by asking Willemijn how she feels after their first session to assess its impact on her. Following this, they begin to lay out Willemijn's lifeline. Symbols are used in the lifeline to describe situations, such as stones (unpleasant events), flowers (beautiful events), sticks (harm done to someone), and candles (loss of loved ones).

In this video you can see the behavior that makes it difficult or impossible, is seen as part of the treatment. It does not lead to a fight or answering statements about the person requesting help. The behavior is framed as an affirmed, useless expression of anger and powerlessness. Validation is the first step in the therapist's approach. Roland gives space to the anger, acknowledges why that interruption is and also takes stock of his own shortcomings. At the same time, he makes it clear what's wrong and keeps reminding Anne of her goals and DBT skills. This requires an immobile centered attitude, and thus humility, acceptance and emotion regulation. In the moments when Roland and Anne "get stuck", he uses the dialectical strategies to help Anne reach the trap: entering the paradox, modeling mental flexibility himself, using metaphors. In addition, you get demonstration of counteracting in anger and facts controlled by fear of abandonment. With the latter you will notice that it is especially important to dare to ask questions.

From this session, the setup looks slightly different, as explained by Patricia Resick. They continue with a Zoom conversation. In the previous session, they ended with challenging questions, so now they focus on thought patterns, followed by topics such as safety and trust.

In this third session, Katy goes through the moments that Pnin has indicated on his lifeline. This process is slow and detailed, with Katy fully guiding Pnin through it. Katy clearly explains to Pnin how she will approach this to achieve the best results for him.

Second session with Lisette – Lisette feels positive after the first session and shared it with her friends, who responded by expressing pride in her. This made her reflect, as she’s never really proud of herself and tends to see it as something ordinary. In this second session, she wants to explore with Les Greenberg how to feel pride in herself and celebrate her achievements without brushing it off as normal.
