Description

What if you could give clients immobilised by trauma fast relief, without having to worry about retraumatising them by rehashing what happened to them? Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are some of the preeminent bottom-up energy psychology approaches for rapidly calming the body and restoring balance after trauma-induced stress and anxiety. These techniques are easy to learn, backed by over 200 research studies, and have been used to treat everything from test anxiety to PTSD in veterans to survivors of genocide in Rwanda. In this workshop, we’ll explore how and why EFT works, as well as its many applications for any client population. You’ll learn: 

  • The two phases of EFT: first, using it to aid in emotional regulation, and then using it to treat traumatic memories  

  • How to integrate EFT’s different techniques into trauma treatment  

  • Why EFT goes beyond “tapping,” integrating aspects of multiple approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Erickonian Hypnosis
