N2 - In this paper we present emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT; Johnson & Campbell, 2022) within a process-based therapy (PBT) framework. A case presentation follows detailed descriptions of the theoretical underpinnings of EFIT, of the specific interventions involved in the approach, and of the evidence upon which the therapeutic processes in EFIT are based. We conclude that the Extended Evolutionary Meta-Model (EEMM) perspective, with its common language; nonpathologizing stance on psychological suffering; and attention to intrapsychic, interpersonal, and sociocultural aspects of change provides an excellent context for learning and practicing EFIT.
