“Feel” the Difference.
Discover and Master the Simplicity of Training in Emotion Skills

EFST addresses a need in the Emotion Focused World and in the world of individuals and groups looking to broaden, deepen, and at the same time simplify the application of Emotion Focused teaching and learning.

EFST emerges out of Dr. Joanne Dolhanty’s pioneering work empowering parents to adopt a significant role in the recovery of a loved one suffering from a mental health problem.

EFST has a simple format, with applications to parents, teens, adults, schools, and a variety of health and mental health contexts. It also has applications that provide the opportunity for therapists to deepen and expand their Emotion Focused skill set and develop mastery in the experiential skills of the emotion focused approach to therapy.

EFST focuses on Navigating Emotions, Enhancing Motivation, and Transforming Relationships.
