BACKGROUND
Parents play a crucial role in the development, maintenance, and deterioration of child difficulties. Emotion focused skills training (EFST) targets parents' capacity to provide their child with emotion-oriented skills in order to promote good child mental health. Few qualitative studies have specifically investigated parents' experiences of receiving such programs.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to explore how parents experience working with their own and their child's emotions undergoing a short-term program in EFST; in particular, changes in their experience of being a parent and in everyday life are reported.
METHOD
Semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 14 parents who had completed a short-term EFST program (2-day group training and 6 h of supervision). Interview transcripts were analyzed using a reflexive thematic analysis approach.
RESULTS
A total of 14 parents (40% men, four couples, age = 39.5, = 4.4) participated in the study. Our analysis resulted in the following three themes: (1) "Coming home" as a parent, with the following subthemes: (a) New ways of being with their child and (b) Parents' painful inner world; (2) Reclaiming parenthood-applying new tools and learning in challenging situations; and (3) This is us-changing the heart of the story. The first theme was related to the descriptions of the changes that emerged in parents' inner lives, the second revolved around the employment of their skills intuitively and creatively based on what was required by the challenging situations, and the third theme referred to new discoveries on family dynamics.
CONCLUSION
Parents' experiences of having wisdom and calmness inside them () and parenting differently, as well as the changed perspectives of the family (), resonate with the theoretical ground of emotion-focused therapy (EFT). The findings also indicate that therapists should be aware of potential parental distress when working in view of changing unpleasant emotions in such skill-based programs.
背景
父母在孩子问题的发展、维持和恶化过程中起着至关重要的作用。情绪聚焦技能培训（EFST）旨在提高父母为孩子提供以情绪为导向技能的能力，以促进孩子良好的心理健康。很少有定性研究专门调查父母接受此类项目的经历。
目的
本研究旨在探讨父母在参与短期情绪聚焦技能培训项目时，如何体验处理自己和孩子的情绪；特别是报告他们作为父母的体验以及日常生活中的变化。
方法
对14名完成短期情绪聚焦技能培训项目（为期2天的小组培训和6小时督导）的父母进行了半结构化深度定性访谈。使用反思性主题分析方法对访谈记录进行分析。
结果
共有14名父母（40%为男性，4对夫妻，年龄=39.5，标准差=4.4）参与了本研究。我们的分析得出以下三个主题：（1）作为父母“回家”，其下子主题为：（a）与孩子相处的新方式和（b）父母痛苦的内心世界；（2）重新获得为人父母的能力——在具有挑战性的情况下应用新工具并学习；（3）这就是我们——改变故事的核心。第一个主题与父母内心生活中出现的变化描述有关，第二个主题围绕根据具有挑战性的情况的要求直观且创造性地运用他们的技能，第三个主题涉及对家庭动态的新发现。
结论
父母内心拥有智慧和平静的体验以及养育方式的不同，还有家庭视角的改变，与情绪聚焦疗法（EFT）的理论基础相呼应。研究结果还表明，在这类基于技能的项目中，治疗师在致力于改变不愉快情绪时，应意识到父母可能存在的困扰。
