CBT is based on the theory that unhelpful ways of thinking turn into unhelpful behaviors. By identifying those behaviors you can implement coping skills that will improve your ability to handle difficult situations and develop confidence.

EFT acknowledges that emotions are key to discovering your needs. By identifying, experiencing, and making sense of our emotions we can also learn to manage them. When you can determine what your emotions tell you about yourself and your surroundings, you can adapt.

DBT is for those suffering from extreme emotions, and includes group and individual therapy. It emphasizes mindfulness as a way to emotionally regulate; acknowledging emotions are temporary reduces their power. It also teaches how to sit with uncomfortable feelings and face them head on.

In IFS the 'families' are really sub-personalities of your mind. They may be created by trauma, aim to suppress the trauma, or push us towards harmful coping mechanisms to distract us.
