Emotional Safeness Therapy (EST) is a new integrative treatment for recurrent depression and co-occurring personality problems. The EST has been successfully implemented and run as group therapy over a period of three years (2015-2018) at an outpatient unit of the Akershus University Hospital in Norway.
The term Emotional Safeness (as distinct from emotional safety) is derived directly from the term “social safeness” proposed by Paul Gilbert, and extends the qualities of “social safeness” to the client’s relation with oneself.
Emotional Safeness Therapy views the quality of the self-to-self relation as crucial for mental health. While we can’t completely control the way other people treat us, we can always change the way we treat ourselves.
Emotional Safeness may be defined as a sense of acceptance, support, warmth, soothing and reassurance in the relationship with oneself. The sense of emotional safeness is fostered by self-nurturance, self-care, self-reassurance and self-compassion. It is thought to be undermined by self-coercion and self-criticism.
