Transforming Emotional Pain: An Illustration of Emotion-Focused Therapy video

In an engaging EFT session, Ladislav Timulak helps the client, Claire, to explore the emotional impact of a very traumatic experience associated with the birth of her daughter. Together they examine the links between the trauma and the core painful emotions that Claire is experiencing.
