The aim of Process Experiential Emotion Focused Therapy (PEEFT) is to identify, explore, regulate, process, transform and integrate our experiences from an emotional perspective alongside reflective processing in order to elicit deep, effective, long lasting change.
Recent research confirms that our emotions influence psychological, cognitive, behavioural, biological and neurochemical system functioning. Emotions interface between body and mind, are a primary signalling system and often arise outside of our awareness. Emotions also precede our language-based knowing.
