The Essence of Process-Experiential/Emotion-Focused Therapy

ROBERT ELLIOTT, Ph .D.*LESLIE S. GREENBERG, Ph.D.#Process-Experiential/Emotion-Focused Therapy (PE-EFT; Elliott et al,2004; Green herg et al, 1993) is an em pirically-supported, neo-humanisticapproach that integrates and updates person-centered, Gestalt, and existentialtherapies. In this article, we first present what we see as PE-EFT's fiveessential features, namely neo-humanistic values, process-experiential emo-tion theory, person-centered hut process-guiding relational stance, therapistexploratory response style, and marker-guided task strategy. Next, we sum-marize six treatm ent princ iples that guide therapists in ca rrying out thistherapy: achieving empathic attunement, fostering an empathic, caring ther-apeutic bond, facilitating task collaboration, helping the client process expe-rience appropriately to the task, supporting completion of key client tasks,and fostering client development and empow erment. In gen eral, PE-EFT isan approach that seeks to h elp clients transform contradictions and impassesinto wellsprings for growth.A humanistic, empirically supported treatment, Process-Experiential/Emotion-Focused Therapy (PE-EET) is based on a 25-year program ofpsychotherapy research (Elliott, Watson, Goldman, & Greenberg, 2004;Elliott, Greenberg, & Lietaer, 2004; Rice & Greenberg, 1984). Drawingtogether person-centered, Gestalt and existential therapy traditions, PE-EET provides a distinctive perspective on emotion as a source of meaning,direction and growth. In this article, we describe five essential features ofthis approach and its basic principles of practice.When this approach was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s,it was referred to as Process-Experiential (PE) therapy (Greenberg, Rice,& E lliott, 1993; G reen berg, E lliott, & Lietaer, 1994), to distinguish it fromrelated experiential therapy approaches, in particulai-, those of Mahrer(1996/2004) and Gendlin (1996). This is still the preferred term for the

therapy within the family of person-centered/Gestalt/humanistic thera-pies, because it locates it most precisely. Emotionally-Focused Therapy(EFT) was originally a term reserved for a related form of couples therapy(Greenberg & Joh nso n, 1988; Joh nso n, 2004). How ever, since the late199O's, the term Emotion-Focused Therapy has also come to be applied toindividual therapy (Greenberg & Paivio, 1998; G reen berg , 2002; Elliott etal., 2004; Greenberg & Watson, 2005).DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF PE EFT PRACTICE

Whatever the name, five things are necessary in order to be able tocarry out PE-EFT: identifying with humanistic values, understandingprocess-experiential emoti'on theory, adopting a person-centered but pro-cess-guiding relational stance, using an exploratory response style, andfollowing a marker-guided task strategy.HUMANISTIC VALUES AND NEO-HUMANISM

First, like other humanistic therapies, PE-EFT is based on a set of corevalues, which it strives to foster: immediate experiencing, presence/authenticity, agency/self-determination, wholeness, pluralism/diversity,and growth. Moreover, our understanding of these values has beenupdated in light of contemporary emotion theory (Frijda, 1986; Greenberg& Safran, 1987; Greenberg, 2002) and dialectical constructivism (Green-berg & Pascual-Leone, 1995; Elliott & Greenberg, 1997). Thus, to carryout PE-EFT effectively, it is necessary for the therapist to believe genuinelythat experience is central; that people are greater than the sum of theirparts and are capable of self-determination; that a growth tendency exists;and that therapists need to be authentic and present with their clients.However , all of these concepts have been reframed in contemporary terms. Experiencing is seen as a continually evolving, dynamic synthesis ofmultiple emotion schemes organized around the person's key emo-tional states.

Presence/Authenticity in the therapist-client relationship is based onhuman attachment processes, in which contact and safety allow newexperiencing to emerge, and open dialogue between client andtherapist fosters constructive client change. Agency/self-determination is held to be an evolutionarUy adaptive

over-arching, singular executive self, wholeness stems from contact-ful, affiliative dialog among disparate aspects. Pluralism/diversity within and between persons is encouraged and

even celebrated via personal and socio-political relationships basedon equality and empowerment. Growth is supported by innate curiosity and adaptive emotionprocesses, and tends toward increasing differentiation and adaptiveflexibility.Consistent with its neo-humanistic philosophy of dialectical construc-tivism, PE-EET sees humans as being constituted of multiple parts orvoices and in general therapy as involving a dialectic of stability andchange. Therapy often inyolves supporting a growth-oriented voice inconflict with a more dominant, negative voice that attempts to maintain thestability of familiar but negative states.

EMOTION THEORYSecond, it is important for therapists to have a grasp of process-experiential emotion theory (Greenberg, 2002; Greenberg & Safran, 1987;Greenberg & Paivio, 1997), which says that emotion is fundamentally

adaptive, making it possible for people to process complex situationalinformation rapidly and automatically to produce actions appropriate formee ting impo rtant organisrnic needs (e.g., self-protection, sup po rt). Em o-tion is central to human function, dysfunction, and change, and thus anessential basis for practice is an appreciation of the forms, structure, andvariety of emotion processes.We have found two key emotion-theory concepts to be highly useful:emotion schemes and emotion reactions. Briefly, emotion schemes areimplicit, idiosyncratic structures of human experience that serve as thebasis for self-organization, including consciousness, action, and identity(Greenberg & Paivio, 1997; Greenberg et al., 1993). In particular, com-plete emotion schemes contain a variety of elements, including situational,bodily, affective, conceptual and action elements; dysfunction may resultwhen one or m ore of these elem ents is missing (Elliott et al., 2004 ; Leijssen,1996). Th e therapist helps clients und erstan d and transform their em otionschemes through careful empathic listening, evocative, or expressive in-terventions; therapists also help clients to reflect on and reevaluate emo-

Safran, 1989; Greenberg & Paivio, 1997). Assessing these emotion reac-tions requires close empathic attunement to the client's expression andattention to the perceived situation in which the emotion emerged. Eachtype of emotion process must be worked with differently (Greenberg &Paivio, 1997). Primary adaptive emotions (e.g., anger in response toviolation) are the person's most direct, useful responses to a situation;therefore, it is best for these to be accessed and allowed to shape adaptiveaction. Secondary reactive emotions (e.g., anger in response to fear orsadness) are the person's response to another, more primary emotion; theythus require empathic exploration of more adaptive emotions that mayunderlie the emotion presented. Primary maladaptive emotions arise di-rectly, but are based on an experience-based misconstrual of the situation;they also benefit from broad exploration of the emotional response thathas become problematic (because it no longer fits the situation), accom-panied by careful listening and elaboration of subdominant primaryemotions (e.g., sadness).PERSON-CENTERED BUT PROCESS-GUIDING RELATIONAL STANCE

T hird, and essential for actual practice, P E -E FT is based on a particularway of communicating with clients. The therapist integrates "being" and"doing" with the client, and this results in a style oi follotving and guiding.As Rogers (1951) indicated, the therapist thus follows the track of theclient's internal experience as it evolves from moment to moment, andremains empathicaUy attuned to and communicates back the client'simmediate inner experience. Fundamentally, the therapist tries to followthe client's experience because he or she recognizes that the client ishum an in the same way that the therapist is: another existing human being,an authentic source of experience, an active agent trying to make meaning,to accomplish goals and to reach out to others. The therapist prizes theclient's initiative and attempts to help the client make sense of his or hersituation or to resolve problems.

At the same time, however, the therapist guides the client, by activelyfacilitating the therapeutic process in the manner of Gendlin (1996) andothers. Guiding does not mean lecturing the client, giving advice orinsight, or controlling or manipulating the client. The therapist is anexperiential guide or coach who knows about subjective terrain and

The Essence of PE-EFTPE-EFT therapists see it as a dialectic, or creative tension, between twovitally important aspects of therapy. Following without leading may resultin therapy progressing inefficiently or not at all. Leading without followingis ineffective and often counter-productive, undermining attempts to helpthe client develop as an empowered, self-organizing person. Thus, the PEtherapist tries to integrate following and leading (so that the distinctionoften disappears) analogous to a dance in which each partner responds tothe other by alternately following and leading. The optimal situation is anactive collaboration between client and therapist, with each feeling neitherled nor simply followed by the other. Th e therapist con stantly m onitors thestate of the therapeutic alliance and the current therapeutic tasks in orderto judge the best balance of active stimu lation w ith responsive attunem ent.Nevertheless, when disjunction or disagreement occurs, the client isviewed as the expert on his or her own experience, and the therapist alwaysdefers to the client's experience. Furthermore, therapist interventions areoffered in a non-imposing, tentative manner, as conjectures, perspectives,"experiments" or opportunities, rather than as expert pronouncements,commands, or statements of truth.THERAPIST EMPATHIC EXPLORATORY RESPONSE STYLE

But how does the therapist enact this relational stance in concreteterms? The fourth essential feature of PE-EFT is a distinctive pattern ofspecific therapist in-session responses,. This pattern of responding is quitedifferent from the typical response style of nonexperiential approaches. Itis so characteristic that generally a session can be identified as process-expe riential simply by listening to it for a few m inute s. W e call this generalway of respond ing empathic exploration because it simultaneously com mu -nicates empathy and encourages client exploration. Commonly, this stylemakes use of exploratory reflections, as in the following brief passage froma therapy with Rachel, a young woman with severe PTSD related to herbeing a victim of a crime.

Client: All I want is enough of who I used to he, so that I could live likea human being.Therapist: [speaking as the client:] It's almost like, 'I don't feel like ahuman heing right now. I feel like som e kind of, something else, that's. . .not hum an.' Is that what it feels like?

therapist responding is active, engaged, and often evocative or expres-sive, but at the same time highly empathic and tentative, even, at times,deliberately inarticulate. Such responses attempt to mod el and pro m oteclient self-exploration of presently felt experience. Here is a somewhatlonger example of the use of this response style in Rachel's therapy:Therapist: So if you, w hat you would like to he ah le to do. . . in your life,would he to somehow stop yourself heing afraid?Client: Um -hm. That's my like major goal of life, (laughs) . . . 7 mean itcontrols my life, every, step of my life, every action and everything.Therapist: So the fear is like a thing that com es upon you and takes over?(client nods agreement) uh, takes your freedom . . . imprisons you, is thatright? (client nods agreement) And it has a quality of 'thingness'.Client: (Thinks for a couple of seconds) Oh yeah.Therapist: Yeah. Is that right?Client: Um-hm.Therapist: So it feels like. . . Um, W hat's it like, the fear? . . . What kindof thing is it?Client: / don't know . I don't know if I feel like it's inside me, (Therapist:um-hm) or ifit's like around me , or if it just sneaks up on me, I don 't. . .mm.Therapist: If you were to, be the fear? . . .Client: I guess it'd he inside of me.Therapist: You'd he inside Rachel, (client nods agreement)

MARKER-GUIDED, EVIDENCE-BASED TASK STRATEGYFinally, PE-EFT is most obviously distinguished by its explicit, evi-

dence-based descriptions of in-session therapeutic markers and tasks.Markers are in-session behaviors that signal that the client is ready to workon a particular problem, or task. An example is a self-critical split markerin which one part of person (a critic) is criticizing another part (anexperiencer). Tasks involve immediate within-session goals, such as resolv-ing the conflict inherent in a self-critical split. Previous research (e.g.. Rice& Greenberg, 1984) on successful client task resolution has identified theseries of steps clients move through in resolving tasks; these, with thetherapist responses, facilitate client movement through those steps. Asillustrated by Table 1, for example, the therapist might suggest that the

form of markers, then guides the client in productive ways of working onthese tasks. Elliott et al. (2004) describe 13 tasks, including markers andclient and therapist responses associated with the different steps; there isalso a post-session instrument for rating each of these tasks (E lliott, 200 2).Beyond the essential features we have just described, it also is impor-tant to note that PE-EFT developed from research on therapy process andoutcome and continues to evolve th roug h the active research programs ofits developers and others (e.g., Elliott, Davis, & Slatick, 1998; Greenberg& Foerster, 1996; Watson & Rennie, 1994; Paivio & Nieuwenhuis, 2001;Johnson & Greenberg, 1985; Clarke, 1996, Toukmanian, 1992; Rennie,1994; Sachse, 1998). This research continues to refine existing therapeutictasks, adding new tasks, and applying PE-EFT to new treatment popula-tions, such as childhood abuse survivors, eating disorders, and borderlinepersonality disorder. PE -E FT tries to stay close to the data, which includesboth the client's immediate experience and the results of research ontreatment process and outcome. In addition, a growing body of outcomestudies (reviewed by Elliott et al., 2004) testifies to the effectiveness of thisapproach.TREATMENT PRINCIPLES

Another way to describe the essential nature of our approach is to layout the treatment principles that guide the therapist's relational stance andactions (Greenberg et al., 1993; Elliott et al., 2004). Everything thetherapist does derives from a set of treatment principles. As their orderingimplies, the relationship principles come first and ultimately receive pri-ority over the task facilitation principles.RELATIONSHIP PRINCIPLES

Process-Experiential/Emo tion-Focused Therapy is built on a genuinelyprizing empathic relation and on the therapist being fully present, highlyrespectful, and sensitively responsive to the client's experience. The rela-tionship principles involve facilitation of shared engagement in a safe,task-focused therapeutic relationship, a relationship that is secure andfocused enough to encourage the client to express and explore his or herkey personal difficulties and emotional pain.1. Empathic attunement: enter and track the client's immediate and


9/15

The Essence of PE EFTand tracks. From the therapist's point of view, em pathic attunem entgrows from the therapist's presence and basic curiosity about theclient's experiencing. It requires a series of internal actions by thetherapist (cf. Greenberg & EUiott, 1997), including letting go ofpreviously formed ideas about the client, actively entering theclient's world, resonating with the client's experience, and selectingand grasping what feelings and meanings are most crucial or poi-gnant for the client at a particular moment. Empathic attunementalso involves selection among several different tracks, including themain meaning expressed by the client, emotion, immediate clientexperience, what it is like to be the client, and what is unclear oremergent. Empathic attunement is an essential process within all ofthe tasks.

2. Therapeutic bond: communicate empathy, caring, and presence tothe client. Following Rogers (1957) and consistent with currentassessments of the research literature (e.g., Norcross, 2002; Orlin-sky, Rennestad, & Willutzki, 2004), the therapeutic relationship isseen as a key curative element. For this reason, the therapist seeks todevelop a strong therapeutic bond with the client, which is charac-terized by communicating three intertwined relational elements:understanding/empathy, acceptance/prizing and presence/genuine-ness. Empathy can be expressed in many ways, including reflectionand explora tion responses, bu t also throu gh the sensitive delivery ofother responses, such as self-disclosure, and appropriate tone ofvoice and facial expression. Acceptance is the general "baseline"attitude of consistent, genuine, noncritical interest and tolerance forall aspects of the client, while prizing goes beyond acceptance to theimmediate, active sense of caring for, affirming, and appreciating theclient as a fellow human being, especially at moments of clientvulnerability (G reenberg et al., 1993). The the rap ist's g enu ine pre^--ence (Geller & Greenberg, 2002) to the client is also essential, andincludes being in emotional contact with the client, being authentic(congruent, whole), and being appropriately transparent or open inthe relationship (Lietaer, 1993). Contact, authenticity and transpar-ency also support the therapist's empathic attunement and prizing,making them believable for the client.

1979), aiming to engage the client as an active participant in therapy.Thus, in the first few sessions of PE-EFT, the therapist works tounderstand the client's view of the main presenting difficulties andto clarify the client's primary therapeutic goals. In general, thetherapist accepts the goals and tasks presented by the client, work-ing actively with the client to describe the emotional processesinvolved in the goals and tasks. (Greenberg, 2002). Research onPE-EFT (Watson & Greenberg, 1996) has found that the emergenceof a clear, shared treatment focus by the fifth session of treatmentpredicts posttreatment o utcome . In addition, the therapist offers theclient information about emotion and the therapy process to helpthe client develop a general understanding of the importance ofworking with emotions and to provide rationales for specific ther-apeutic activities, such as two-chair work.

TASK PRINCIPLESThe three relationship principles provide a model of the optimalclient-therapist relationship in PE-EFT therapy. These are matched bythree principles that guide the pursuit of therapeutic tasks presented by

clients, principles based on the general assumption that human beings areactive, purposeful organisms with an innate need for exploration andmastery of their environments. These principles are expressed in thetherapist 's attempts to help the client resolve internal, emotion-relatedproblems through work on personal goals and within-session tasks.4. Experiential processing: help the client work in different ways atdifferent times. A key insight of PE-EFT therapy is the understand-ing that clients have different, productive ways of working at

different times. It is essential that the therapist attend to the client'simmediate state to help him or her work in different ways atdifferent times. We refer to these different ways of working as modesof engagement (Elliott et al., 2004; Greenberg et al., 1993). Clientmodes of engagement are defined as productive, moment-to-moment ways of working with one's internal experiencing (alsoknown as micro-processes). These include: Attendingpaying attention to what is available to awareness; Experiential searchactively searching one's internal experience in

to follow the client when he or she switches to an emerging task that ismore alive or central for them. In general, it is also important to maintaina balance between task-focusedness and the therapeutic relationship. Atherapist's efforts to help the client complete a therapeutic task can attimes be experienced by the client as a threatening pressure. Anticipatingthis possibility, the therapist listens carefully and is prepared to offer theclient the choice to back off from or move to a different task. It typicallytakes several sessions for a client to complete a key task or goal, such asdeveloping a sense of control over trauma-related fears or resolving angerand bitterness towards a neglectful parent. The therapist might thereforehelp the client return to a key task week after week, but of course, wouldsuspend work on this if something more immediately pressing emerged orif the client began to feel unsafe or embarrassed.

6. Self-Development: foster client responsibility and empowerment.Process-Experiential/Emotion-Focused Therapy therapists empha-size the importance of clients' freedom to choose actions in therapyas well as outside therapy. Beyond their general stance of treatingclients as experts on themselves, the therapist supports the client'spotential and motivation for self-determination, mature interdepen-dence with others, mastery and self-development, including thedevelopment of personal power (Timulak & Elliott, 2003). Clientgrowth is largely facilitated through listening for and helping theclient to explore the growth possibilities in their experience. Forexample, the therapist might hear and reflect the assertive angerimplicit in a particular client's depressed mood. Choice is facilitatedin different ways, such as when the therapist offers the clientalternatives about therapeutic goals, tasks, and activities. Thus, thetherapist might offer a hesitant client the choice not to go intoexploration of a painful issue. We have found that clients are morewilling to take risks in therapy wh en they feel they have the freedomto make therapy as safe they need it to be.
