Emotionally Focused Family Counseling - EFFT

The dynamics within a family are subject to a lifelong process of change in which roles and influences change.


Emotion avoidance and disruption in the family are common factors that create difficulties. Emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT) is based on the latest results of attachment research in order to promote the growth of the children and to break down relationship blocks with the parents. She works according to systemic principles, focusing on the children's attachment needs and the caring behavior of the parents.

The power of Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is to transform relationships toward greater accessibility. and responsiveness, helping the family create a secure base in which children can grow and explore the world.


Family means responsibility and security at the same time


Goal of emotion-focused family counseling:


  • resolve parent-child issues
  • Introducing strategies to strengthen and repair the parent-child relationship
  • Raising parents' awareness of how their emotions affect the child
  • Repairing the parent-child bond
  • Strengthening the mental health of the child


I offer you my cooperation on these topics:

 

  • If your child has trouble naming or regulating their emotions
  • If your child shows the beginnings of mental stress in order to intercept a mental illness
  • If your child has psychosomatic illnesses
  • If your child has difficulties in his life phase
  • When one or both parents have difficulties with the child(ren).
  • When your child causes problems they are powerless to face
  • If you can no longer reach your child emotionally
  • If you are a single parent and your child has problems with the father/mother.
  • If you are the divorced, moved out parent and having troubles in relationship with their child
  • When there are sibling disputes.
  • If there is a separation or death of a close relative in the family.
  • How do I tell my child? How can bonding be lived by both parents even after the separation. How do you deal with new partners and, if necessary, with their children, and much more.
  • Parental advice according to § 95 Abs. 1a AussStrG

School difficulties of our daughter

 

Our daughter had difficulties at school and despite tutoring, her grades didn't improve. The more I pushed, the more my daughter closed herself off. I was helpless, my husband didn't want to interfere in the matter between us. So I asked for help from Mrs. Katzenschlager.

In the first session I already realized that this withdrawal and not wanting to learn has to do with the difficulties in our relationship. I was able to convince my husband to go to the next meeting. We worked together on our emotional distancing, and there were already changes in our daughter. Then she was included in the process and was also able to name her emotional deficits and situations where we are/were not there for her. It was a great relief to hear that because it enabled us to deal with her differently. Over several conversations and interventions, our relationship got better and better. We grew together as a family and can strengthen each other today. I am very grateful to Ms. Katzenschlager for that.
