Overview

Emotion-focused therapy looks beyond a client's symptomatic behavior to the role that emotion plays in its formation. Emotion-focused therapists view emotion as our primary meaning system and as such emotion is used as the path to greater awareness of what is important in any given situation. Emotion-focused therapy reaches past awareness and acceptance of emotion by helping clients make sense of their feelings as well as transforming their core painful emotions. In this program, Dr. Leslie S. Greenberg, the primary originator of emotion-focused therapy, discusses how it works with emotion, and guest experts Norka T. Malberg and Michael A. Tompkins ask questions as they watch clips from previously published videos that illuminate this model.
